Great program. When I hear parents talk about other leagues, I realize the need for FFPS.

Everything about FFPS was great. This was my son's first team sport. He loved it and cannot wait to begin playing again.

My children have played for 5 seasons in FFPS. It is so positive I wish all children could get the feel of the friendly game.
