Weekend Showdowns Highlight 7‑on‑7 Football Scene
Two major 7‑on‑7 passing tournaments are set to take place this Saturday, July 11, drawing high‑school programs from across Southern California and offering fans a chance to see the fast‑paced, pass‑heavy style of play that has become a staple of offseason preparation.
The Battle At The Beach, held at Edison, will feature 18 teams split into four pools. Defending gold‑division champion Mission Viejo returns to the competition, and the field also includes notable programs such as Capistrano Valley and San Diego Cathedral Catholic.
The Seahawk Shootout expands the scale, hosting 32 teams divided into eight pools and four divisions for championship rounds. Action kicks off at 8:30 a.m., giving teams a full day of matchups before the final brackets are decided.
Admission is priced at $5 for anyone aged 13 and older, while parking will be free in all school lots, making the event accessible to families and supporters who want to cheer from the sidelines.
Local vendors will staff a snack bar offering food for sale, adding a community‑focused atmosphere to the competition and giving attendees a chance to refuel between games.
On Friday, Ocean View will host a lineman competition that culminates with a tug‑of‑war, providing an extra layer of excitement for participants and spectators alike and showcasing the broader football culture in the region.
Organizers say the weekend will highlight the growing popularity of the 7‑on‑7 format and give teams a chance to fine‑tune strategies before the high‑school season kicks off in earnest.
