Miami Dolphins Hosted 44 High School & 23 Youth Teams as Part of 7-on-7 Tournament
Miami, FL – The Miami Dolphins Youth Programs hosted 44 high school and 23 youth teams as part of the 10th annual High School and Youth 7-on-7 Tournament. The event began on Friday, June 16 with a symposium at Hard Rock Stadium. High school athletes heard from Miami Dolphins Executive Vice President of Football Operations Mike Tannenbaum, Director of Player Engagement Kaleb Thornhill and Youth Programs Manager & Dolphins Alum Troy Drayton.
“Starting with the symposium, we were first able to engage and encourage the high school student-athletes off the field, which is a core piece of the Dolphins’ youth programs mission,” Miami Dolphins Youth Programs Manager Troy Drayton said. “Building off the symposium’s energy, the level of competition at both the high school and youth level was extremely high during the 10th year of the tournament.”
The high school football tournament commenced on Saturday, June 17 at Plantation Central Park. The tournament consisted of round-robin play and then moved into a single elimination format. The high school teams competed in the championship round on Sunday, June 18. Carol City won the tournament, for the third year in a row, 14-7 against Miramar.
23 teams also competed in the youth tournament, which consisted of three age groups (10U, 12U and 14U). Rac Squad won the 10U, SFYF won the 12U and the Ft. Lauderdale Hurricanes won the 14U category.
