I know they play 7 on 7 football in Texas in the spring. I have always wondered how it works. I know it is just football with 7 people, but what positions are left out? Thanks in advance.

 
I am not for sure, but i would assume you would have 3 down linemen the QB, RB and 2 receivers. On defense probably 3 secondary players 3 down linemen and a LB. I guess that is how i always pictured it.

 
Offense:

You have a center, QB, and 5 skill players. You can have 2 RB, 1 TE, 2 WR...or 1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR...or 0 RB, 0 TE, 5 WR...or any other combination of those 3 positions.

Defense:

You have your LBs and DBs...maybe 5 DBs and 2 LBs, or the standard 3 LBs and 4 DBs...again any combination...

 
I have always known 7 on 7 as passing drills, no guards or tackles. at least that is what we did in practice anyway... :dunno

This.

 
I have never known teams to use a center at all. Usually just get some guy to take a knee and "snap" the QB the ball. Usually QB, one or 2 running backs, and 4 or 5 receivers depending on your backs. On Defense 2 to 3 linebackers and 4 to 5 DB's once again depending on how many linebackers you use. I think that is right, but not sure. And they play 5 on 5 in 8 man football.

Thanks fellas.

States that have these competitions seem to develop some pretty good football players. Why doesnt the state of Nebraska do it? :dunno

 
Its usually warmer states that do it since they can do it year round. There are some 7 on 7 team camps in Nebraska though, UNK runs one.
