Jahelka is going to have to go back to work to collect anything. Coaching or consulting or pickup up trash after games, something to fulfill his end of the consulting agreement to collect what he is contractually due. Part of that contract involves him working of which their is no evidence, email or otherwise that he has.

Of course Jahelka wants to be paid now. But given that he is an unsecured creditor—he has no ability to enforce that if FLG files Chapter 11. The argument about FLG or Winkoff being over leveraged is irrelevant. He controls 100% and can put as much leverage on the company or increase salaries or dividend $$ in any amount as he wants. There are no restrictive covenants in the consulting agreement to prevent that. So Jahelka can negotiate a settlement—or—in an extreme case-/FLG’s owners can file Chapter 11 and Jahelka has to wait for another court to divide up the assets. But keep in mind—businesses can operate while the corporation is in Chapter 11. Happens all the time. So the tournaments and club teams can go on as if nothing happened at the corporate level. Parents shouldn’t be concerned because nothing changes operationally. Jahelka may not like it—but that’s how the our bankruptcy laws work. He could have negotiated additional protections in the agreement but he didn’t.

The FLG Showcase (girls) was a money maker. I would not recommend this unless you play for FLG.

All is well in FLG land as wait until you see all those kids at camp tomorrow lining up to pay big bucks to play lacrosse duck duck goose. Sorry, I meant Fusion Duck Duck Goose.

How is the 2023 team, thinking about trying out.

What position does your son play?

What position does your son play?

FLG been dying a slow death for years...bait and switch when it comes to tournaments is old news...streamlining brackets for their teams to get deep...forced off season workouts($$)...promoting kids that pay more over better talent...they have a racket going and anyone who gives them a second look gets what the dearly paid for...nothing

Why do you need to know? Oh I know why, because if its your sons position, then the team stinks, if its not then he may be an upgrade and help the team and then you will want him.
The original poster asked a simple question, How is the team.

Seems to be business as usually in FLG land! Not sure what the crazies are talking about - Lawsuit???

Proposed settlement agreement files with court

Trail date set for 10/3/19. I sure they will settle before then.

i'd prob feel a little bad for the owners of the program and family... if I had never had a conversation with them. Not the nicest to deal with.

so how long until FLG goes belly up?

Once your own kids exit the program as players it's tough to stay engaged and know the talent across the island and to recruit. In time, Igloo and others will follow the same (potential) fate.

Igloo is a very solid program. They are very well-organized, have good coaching, run good practices all year, provide quality uniforms and equipment, etc. They play in fairly good tournaments, although not always the best of the best. If they could join NLF that would really help their kids get recruited. That Elite 80 event they run is expensive but provides insane exposure. None of these clubs are perfect, but I think Igloo is better than most other options with the exception of Express or 91 A teams. Their 2020 team has commits to Harvard, ND, Denver, Bucknell, Sacred Heart and others....

Omg! What a load of garbage. Igloo is falling apart. It's so much about greed. They charge an outrageous amount and promise the least number of tourneys to kids than any other organisation. They even cheap out on the tourneys they do go to. They dont care about the kids at all. That a bunch of hogwash. The owner is just lining his pocket. Everyone knows the downward spiral of Igloo.
