Overview
"The Country's Premier Summer High School Football Experience"
Every football player, and coach for that matter, dreams of taking the field at an NFL stadium on a Sunday. This is your chance to play on the same field as the Minnesota Vikings and their opponents.
Junior Day National provides registered players with that opportunity while also working with and being evaluated by reputable college football coaches from around the country. All coaches attending are "decision makers" within their program. Coaches from NCAA DII and DIII will be attending this event.
What will be included as part of the Junior Day Football National Showcase?
All players will have roughly the same amount of time to demonstrate their skills on Sunday at US Bank Stadium.
Offensive and Defensive Linemen will showcase their talents at US Bank Stadium prior to the 7v7 games through testing and other evaluative metrics. OL and DL players will have their own set of awards and competitive titles to be won throughout their time on the turf of US Bank Stadium.
Quarterbacks, Running backs, Wide Receivers will showcase their talents in a mini-combine session.
Quarterbacks, Running backs, Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Linebackers, Cornerbacks, and Safeties will be broken into teams for 7v7 football games for Sunday's events. A round-robin segment is played for seedings and a playoff bracket will be held to determine a champion.
All Players will have an instructional practice session and time to explore the Twin Cities with their families. College coaches will coach athletes through drills and stations that they run with their own players. Common metrics will be recorded on each player. All players will have a more intimate discussion with college coaches to ask questions about the college athlete experience and recruiting process.
Team Showcase:
Each team will play on the field at US Bank Stadium in a 7v7 format with college coaches on the sidelines coaching, instructing, and evaluating.
Teams will be divided equally based on registrations, however, a typical team will consist of:
- 2 Quarterbacks
- 2 Running backs
- 6 Wide Receivers
- 2 Tight Ends
- 5 Linebackers
- 4 Cornerbacks
- 4 Safeties
ALL PLAYERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE 7V7 GAMES MUST WEAR A SOFT-SHELLED HELMET DURING THE GAMES.
How does this differ from a standard Junior Day regional event?
Much like our Junior Day regional events, we will put college coaches on the field with high school players who want to learn about today's game from the actual coaches who are at the college level. However, there are some great additions to our national event that you won't see in a regional setting:
- The event will culminate at one of the most recognizable football fields in the world, US Bank Stadium, Home of the Minnesota Vikings
- Five complimentary tickets for family members to enter US Bank Stadium for the Sunday testing and games. If you have more than five guests we can usually provide additional complimentary tickets once all families receive their tickets. Should our allotment of complimentary tickets run out do not worry. The Vikings do sell additional tickets at a nominal fee. We have never had to purchase additional tickets before so there is no reason for concern if you have a large family.
- Your picture on the massive End Zone Scoreboard(s) at US Bank Stadium
- Skill Metrics Evaluation and event leaderboard
- Intimate small group discussions with coaches about how to engage college coaches in a coaching and showcasing environment
- Each player will be provided a Junior Day Football National numbered jersey to be worn at US Bank Stadium.
- Dozens of individual awards given for skill leaders, Defensive MVP, Offensive MVP, OL MVP, DL MVP, Game MVP's, and much more
- Players who play in the championship game will receive a either a championship or runner-up trophy
- Professional photographs taken throughout the event and shared with all Junior Day National participants (no additional cost)
- Opportunity to compete against players from all over the country
