La Jolla's football team is going to host several opposing teams in 7-on-7 passing dates this summer, according to new head coach Tyler Roach.
After traveling to the passing league at San Diego State Sat., June 10, and facing La Costa Canyon at LCC the following Sat., June 17, the Vikings will begin a string of at least three dates on their home turf at Edwards Stadium.
The teams coming to La Jolla will vary.
On the last Tuesday in June, June 27, at 4:30 p.m., the Vikings will play host to some football giants of San Diego County: Helix and Madison, as well as El Capitan.
After the no-contact period between coaches and players through the week of July 4, the Vikings will
bring in different opponents Tues., July 18, and then Tues., July 25.
A change from past years is that La Jolla will not travel to Southwestern College for the large 7-on-7 tournament there.
Seven-on-7 passing tournaments "are not football", as one coach said. But they do provide practice against opponents for quarterbacks and receivers, as well as passing defenses. Such tourneys or leagues have proliferated in the last several years in high school football.
