Elite 7 is a premier, invite-only tournament series for elite girls teams from 8th through 12th grade, built to showcase top-tier talent in the 7v7 NCAA format. This is not an open event—only the best earn an invitation. Every team selected has proven they belong in the Elite 7, and every game reflects that standard.

​

Each invited team receives a custom Elite 7 tournament uniform, official Elite 7 flags, and exclusive gear, delivering a true championship-level experience from arrival to final whistle. Teams will compete under new NCAA-style 7v7 tournament rules, battling through high-level regional play to earn the right to advance.

​

The Elite 7 Series features four regional tournaments, with each regional champion earning an automatic bid to the Elite 7 National Championships. Nationals will be held alongside the NCFFL College National Championships, giving athletes a rare opportunity to compete in front of 30+ college coaches in a true recruiting environment.

​

The Elite 7 National Champion will receive a $1,000 donation from Island Elite Sports to their school or organization, along with exclusive championship swag from partners including Guardian Loop, Shruumz, and more.

​

This is more than a tournament series. Elite 7 is a proving ground—designed to spotlight elite 7v7 talent, elevate recruiting and scholarship opportunities, and ultimately answer one question: who is the best 7v7 team in the region… and the nation?
