FLG was very good. They took their eye off the ball, did not recruit hard enough to build quality teams that could compete and win at any level-which is what the consumer wanted-to learn, enjoy AND win. It mattered but they didn't see it. There are some great coaches and good people in the program but they are just a step above PAL based on the depth of talent they attract and can not compete with the stronger teams at any age level. That being said they are still a good program for a kid that wants more than just PAL but is not concerned with wining the mythical 7th grade national championship.
