The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHSFCA) is excited to announce the 2025 7 on 7 State Championship Tournament — a premier event in Ohio high school football that highlights the growing popularity of 7 on 7 football across the state. This annual event features the best high school teams competing in a fast-paced, non-contact passing tournament with the chance to be crowned state champions in two divisions.
What is 7 on 7 Football?
7 on 7 football is a unique and increasingly popular variation of traditional football that emphasizes passing, route running, and quick decision-making. Played with seven players on each side and no full-contact tackling, this format is designed to showcase quarterback and receiver skills in an exciting, fast-moving competition. It’s becoming a key part of summer football programs for many high schools.
Divisions: Big School & Smaller School
The tournament divides teams by school enrollment into two divisions to ensure fair competition:
- Division I (Big School)
- Division II (Smaller School)
Each division will crown both regional champions and state champions, providing opportunities for schools of all sizes to excel.
