Description

Welcome to the Future Grapplers League

FGL is submission-only youth grappling league for athletes ages 6–16. No points. You win by getting a submission — and if nobody finishes, the athlete who tried hardest to finish wins. Stalling is penalized, not rewarded.

We run Gi and No-Gi divisions, and our champions earn belts. They keep and defend the belts at marquee events. Entry is always free.

What makes us different:

⭐ Submission-focused — matches reward finishing, not stalling

🥋 Real belts and defended titles, not just a medal in a drawer

🛡️ Safety-first rules built specifically around growing bodies

💵 Free to compete — always

New to FGL? Read the Competitor & Parent Guide (linked in Tab 6) before registering. It explains everything in plain language.
