For the past 12 years, Dennis Marroquin and his amazing group of coaches and organizers had provided a 7-on-7 experience that thousands of south Florida athletes have used as springboard.
With an alumni roster that includes current collegiate and NFL stars, the Florida Fire has earned a reputation as being one of the most talented 7-on-7 off season programs nationally.
With national titles in hand, this organization has been so popular that Marroquin and his impressive group of coaches and analysts have been able to open up a new world for so many talented athletes – from Orlando to south Miami and everywhere in between.
Last Friday night, Doral Academy was the site for the Florida Fire 13th annual tryout and talent showcase, and well over 150 football players in all classes (2024-2027) came out on a cool evening to do what they do best – play football.
With spots open on all their teams, this Friday, the 13 event truly lived up to its billing – with gifted football talent spending over two hours making an impression.
While there were so many players on hand – some for the first time – here is a look at some of the standouts who came out in hopes of making the roster.
“We prepare for this night and this season all year,” Marroquin explained. “There are so many coaches and sponsors who make this a reality.”
In a world where many south Florida 7-on-7 teams have opted to use players from outside the area, the Florida Fire prefers to keep this group local, and things have worked out just fine.
With an impressive tournament schedule ahead, here is a look at just a few of the prospects who made their way out as Doral head coach Eddie Delgado and his staff rolled out the red carpet:
