- Flag football brackets, adult and youth
- 11-a-side amateur league cups
- Position-specific showcases and combines
- Lineman challenges and skills competitions
Tournaments as recruiting exposure
For high-school players, a well-attended 7v7 weekend is one of the cheapest ways to get film in front of college staff. Log the event on your AthletiLink profile, attach your clips, and share the link when you email coaches — results plus film is far stronger than a highlight tape alone.
Organizing a football tournament
Running a bracket is mostly logistics: entries, fees, fields, referees, schedule and results. Event organizers on AthletiLink publish a listing, take registrations, message every team at once and post scores from their phone between rounds.
