7-on-7 Passing league tournaments provide a great opportunity for high school football players to get recruiting exposure and really put their name on the map. The Passingdown and Badger Sport Elite 7-on-7 tournaments help to showcase the top talent in the country, and provide a fun and competitive environment for kids to show their talents. Scouts, analysts and coaches use these events to evaluate top prospects and find hidden gems, and some players get offers to the top college programs based solely off of their performance at these events. The California Strength 7-on-7 Team offers players a chance to team up with some of the top players and coaches in the West, and helps players to get top exposure at these events by helping to ensure success on the field, and working with the top scouting services for exclusive media coverage.

California Strength is home to some of the most talented quarterbacks on the West coast, and we host tryouts every year to fill out the roster with top quality skill position players. If you are a wide receiver, defensive back, running back, tight end, or linebacker, contact us to find out about our next tournament or how you can try out for the team.
