Issues w/ Frisco Football League -FFL - Cheerleading

[Beancounter]

You have good and bad in the FFL just like any other organization.

The rules that are in place ensure that each kid gets equitable playing time. Just like in baseball or basketball leagues, the quality of the coaching is going to vary team to team. Over the years the talent does tend to get isolated to a few teams as parents move their kids in search of victories.

The FFL does a good job of providing a fun and safe environment for boys to play the game. It is a good intro before middle school ball. Realistically, the FFL kid probably gets more coaching attention than the average MS player. My kid had a good experience with it as did our whole family.

We have had good experiences with the FFL. Most importantly, our kids enjoy the experience. However, it is fun for the parents as well. Some of our best friends have come from people we have met through the football teams.

As an avid UT and college football fan, I actually look forward to FFL Saturday games now more than college football. Already can't wait for football season as we will have 2 boys and 1 cheerleader. I believe 3,000 kids participate each year. Today we got through the combine in record time so they are definitely improving their processes each year.

Welcome to the wonderful world of kids' sports!

The FFL is the best ran league of the loonies out there. They have a draft instead of the stacked teams out there.

Wait until your child is asked to be on a "select" team...hockey, basketball, baseball.

You can get a foul mouthed moron who is hired by "your" team who calls your players "p...sies". These kids are 8 and 9 playing baseball, hockey, and or basketball. I have seen it in all three.

The FFL has a board and regulates the moron parents/coaches.

Be thankful for the FFL...it is a lot worse out there.
