General Information

The  FFC Sports Men’s Basketball Leagues are designed to provide the most competitive men’s leagues in the area.  Based on FFC’s Sports concepts, the Men’s Legend’s league is for men age 40+ and is intended to provide friendly, competitive play. We play 5 on 5 to ensure quality playing time for all. Post-game huddles are mandatory. During this time of fellowship, each participant is introduced to the claims of Christ and is encouraged to share with each other how Christ is impacting their lives. We have an individual sign up, with each team being drafted.

An exception may be granted at the discretion of the staff due to medical reasons only.
