Our Story

PFLI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses sports to help at-risk youth develop healthy relationships and learn essential life lessons. For us, it's not just about winning, it's about empowerment: the power to live a positive lifestyle, the power to treat others with respect, and the power to make responsible choices. Every day, we're reminding these kids that they're not victims of circumstances - they're contenders.
