Braswell Bengal Football

Spring Practice Schedule

Braswell 7-on-7 7-on-7 competition will not define our success or failure as a football team.

We use 7-on-7 to improve the skills and chemistry of our team for Friday nights in the fall.

We see 7-on-7 as a great way for leadership to emerge among our players, therefore we typically don’t use a “coach” for the team.

The “tournament team” will have the opportunity to purchase and/or fundraise to earn a 7-on-7 jersey for summer tournaments.

Braswell 7-on-7 Varsity Tournament Team: 20 player maximum

2 scheduled tournaments:

Media

*Newspapers, radio, and TV will be covering this program throughout the season

*Our goal is to give recognition to as many players as we can

100% of the time it is meant to be positive

Social MediaWe warn our kids constantly about the dangers of social media: Twitter, Snap Chat, Instagram, etc.

*If you retweet it, you might as well have said it.

*Once it’s out, you can’t take it back.

*Words and pictures aren’t always perceived as you intend them to be.
