About The Event

The 18th Annual Ball Till U Fall 7v7 Football Tournament marks a significant milestone in our commitment to showcasing young athletic talent. This prestigious event is now held annually, having evolved from its biannual roots, to highlight the dedication, skill, and sportsmanship of youth football players across the region.

This year, the tournament spans two days, utilizing three iconic venues—Paycor Stadium, La Salle High School, and the University of Cincinnati. These locations not only provide a top-tier playing environment but also an opportunity for young athletes to experience the atmosphere of major collegiate and professional stadiums.

Organized by Collectively Evolving, the tournament fosters a competitive yet supportive atmosphere where teams from diverse backgrounds can compete, learn, and grow. The event serves as a crucial platform for players to showcase their skills in front of scouts, coaches, and sports enthusiasts, offering exposure that is vital for their athletic and personal development.

As we celebrate the 18th tournament of exceptional football, we continue to honor the legacy of Owen Scheele and Mario McCullough, young athletes whose life and passion for the sport inspired the inception of 15u and 18u Memorial Trophy. The Ball Till U Fall tournament is more than just a series of games; it is a community event that unites players, families, and fans in a celebration of football and its ability to change lives.
