fl$ had a bit of an air of superiority about them a few years back, they then made a major blunder by holding tryouts to late for the younger teams, they were able to get away with the late tryout for the older established teams because those kids wanted to play for them, but they lost out on a new generation of quality players when they all made other teams before fl$ even had tryouts, they are now trying to re-build those teams but the better players are all established else where.
