PARENT TESTIMONIALS
MYLES GREEN-RICHARDS +
One of the best decisions we ever made! The knowledge, connections and training helped Myles Green-Richards get recruited! You really don’t know how good you are until you go up against other high level talent! EForce coaches are very honest! It is worth trying out for.

From the first practice, I saw improvements in my son. It could have been from the confidence that he made it on a highly selective team. It could have been from being surrounded by some of the best players in the state. It may have also been being coached by names he would watch on tv and look up to. Regardless, it was working.
This alone was worth the investment, but they didn’t stop there. Playing at the next level was not really on our radar. We were preparing for the end of Friday night lights. It was through EForce that we were introduced to the process to play at the next level. Through trips to colleges for tours, answering my most mundane questions and explaining what we need to do to improve his chances.
Thank you for seeing something in my son.
-Jude, Scappoose, OR.

FAQ
What makes EForce different from other 7v7 teams?
Our focus is the development of the total athlete, both on and off the field, while providing a competitive environment and the best chance of exposure for all participants. We use 7-on-7 as an off-season development tool to help each athlete perform their best on Friday nights or Saturday afternoons.
Can I play 7v7 if I play other sports (basketball, baseball, lacrosse, etc.)?
Absolutely. The EForce program is build around the Long Term Athlete Development model and we firmly believe all athletes should participate in multiple sports. Practices, tournaments and training sessions fit in the margin of other activities.
Do I have to attend every practice?
We encourage athletes to make as many practices as possible to take advantage of the EForce coaching staff’s knowledge and to learn offensive/defensive schemes, however we respect that other sport/family conflicts will arise throughout the season.
What is the EForce College Roadmap & Advocacy Program?
The EForce College Roadmap and Advocacy Program is a collection of college contacts, information and best practices to help families navigate the recruiting process. We provide resources to athletes and parents on how to contact college coaches, plan academic schedules, create highlight tapes, and more. In addition, the EForce coaching staff has connection to college coaching staffs at all levels across the country and will help be an advocate to these schools for EForce athletes.
