Welcome to my 2008 NFL HSPD National 7on7 Tournament Memoir blog. The purpose of this blog is to capture the essence of the NFL HSPD National 7on7 Tournament through video clips, photos and posts from 7on7 participants.
This years tournament will be held in New Orleans, La. hosted by the New Orleans, Saints July 10-13th. There will be 16 teams (8 NFC and 8 AFC) competing to be the NFL's 7-on-7 National Champion. Teams being represented include, from the NFC; the Giants, Redskins, Panthers, Falcons, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, and the Vikings. The AFC teams being represented are the Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Browns, Dolphins, Texans, and Broncos.
The teams will compete over 2 days starting with round robin play followed by a single elimination tournament. Building off of the NFL's HSPD program, each day will have a character development component with round table discussions, guest speakers and break out groups.
NFL HSPD 7on7 Participants completed their day with an inspirational speech from New Orleans Saints Defensive Line Coach, Ed Orgeron. Coach Orgeron spoke about being committed to the game and the requirement to work hard for the things you want out of life.
The evening concluded with recognizing the following individuals for their sportsmanship during the tournament;
