About M7
Memorial 7
Memorial 7 is sponsoring the premier 7 on 7, non-contact football league in the Memorial-West Houston community for boys in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.
This fall program gives young players a fun, exciting and competitive opportunity to engage in non-contact action, while learning teamwork and interpersonal skills that will help them on and off the field. Players will also learn technical skills such as passing, catching and pass defense.

Team Formation
Our mission for team formation is to allow kids to play with their friends/classmates, create a competitive environment, and to have convenient practice locations. Therefore, teams are assembled as follows;
- Coaches will be allowed to assemble their own team, i.e. there is no draft in Memorial 7.
- Coaches will be allowed to invite up to 12 players to be on their team.
- Players should indicate on their registration if a coach has asked them to play. Coaches will also provide this detail directly to the league.
- Players do not need to be invited by a coach to play in the league, but only invited players are guaranteed roster spots.
- The league will assign players not invited by a coach to a team in their area either by school or geography, if available.
- The league will attempt to schedule the regular and post season based upon skill level of teams in order to promote the highest level of competition possible.
Coaches
- Our mission is to have positive, knowledgeable, volunteer coaches.
- The league would like every team to have a Coach Parent or volunteer coach.
- The league does not want to pay for professional coaches to coach in the league as this is an expense we cannot afford.
- Coach Parents can, at their own cost, pay for a professional coach. Coaches are not allowed to make this a mandatory cost for their players.
- Coaches choose the time and location for team practices, i.e. the league does not provide practice fields.
- In an effort to assist coaches in the league, Memorial 7 will offer video sessions, offensive and defensive play books, or other assistance that a volunteer coach asks for.
- If we do not have enough Coach Parents or volunteer coaches, the league will turn away participants.
