South Charlotte will be putting together a Spring 7 on 7 team. 

This is not a league and this is a highly competitive team.  This is considered a travel team that will be put together to participate in tournaments and games from potentially late January through June in 2026.  This is a great opportunity for Fall Pop Warner Football players to continue to stay competitive.

Tryouts will be in January.

• At the present time the plan is only for an 11u team.
• Age cutoff is January 1, 2026, so you can't turn 12 before January 1, 2026. 
• Current South Charlotte Pop Warner 10u players and those 11u players that make this age cutoff are eligible.
• Team will be coached by Derek Exoo, Sean Preston and Jonathan Council.

What is 7 on 7?

7 on 7 is basically a passing league, utilizing position players, minus the offensive line.  It is single hand touch football.

• QB, RB, WR, TE - and a center (not eligible) on offense
