Flint Metro League is a high school sports league in the Flint area of Michigan. It is composed of ten 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. Two teams, Fenton and Swartz Creek, joined from the County B League, and one each from the Big Nine Conference (Ainsworth), Wayne-Oakland League (Holly) and Tri-County League (Lapeer High) and a new high school: Carman. The league in 1983 reached a high of 10 schools but by 2002 there were seven teams. Clio in 2005 and Swartz Creek in 2006 moved to the Flint Metro League as the conference was perceived as being overpowering to those schools.
In 2006, the entire Big Nine Conference applied for membership in the league to encourage discussion on a merger. As a result of that and Kearsley's interest back in 2005–2006, a membership invitation was extended to Kearsley.
Beginning in 2014, Flushing Schools will join the Flint Metro League from the Saginaw Valley Conference - South Division, replacing Lapeer East and West, which will merge into Lapeer High and leave the FML.
