The Frederick Flying Cows are a professional basketball organization competing in the 94x50 league, and one of the founding franchises of the league. The 94x50 season runs from March May, with playoffs in June. The league is positioning itself as an alternative option for players who might be playing in professional leagues overseas and are hoping to build their careers towards playing against the highest possible competition. The quality of play in the 94x50 league is high just a notch below the level of the NBA G-league. Heading into our fourth season, the Flying Cows have built a successful on-court product as well as a one-of-a-kind brand off the court.
