Flint Metro League (FML) is a high school sports league in the Flint area of Michigan. It is composed of twelve high schools. History In 1968, six Flint area schools formed a new league to play against schools of similar size and to cut down on travel for some schools.

The league in 1983 contained 10 schools but by 2002 there were seven teams.

As a result of that and Kearsley's interest back in 2005–2006, a membership invitation was extended to Kearsley. In 2014, Flushing Schools joined the Flint Metro Le ...
