I am looking to set up a league for my 11 year old son and his friends to play FF. They are very interested but I have several parents (including myself) concerned about the websites and related links. I have played Yahoo, CBS, and ESPN in the past and they all have frequent instances of PG-13 advertising (gambling sites, personals, beer, not to mention Hardee's). Ideally there would be a free site without ads, but I would be willing to investigate a pay site if it eliminated the questionable links.

BTW, my son has tried SI Kids league in the past, but would like a real league with trades, rosters, etc instead of the salary based games they have.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. A concerned Dad and Commish.

Only thing I would suggest is paying for something like cbssportsline or the like and "moderating" it yourself. If you wanna free site with all the extra "baggage" then this aint something for him if that's what you're worried about. It's fantasy football, there's gonna be smacktalkin abound in forums. Some are good, some are not so good. It's up to the mods on the forums to limit the "smack" out there. I know this place isn't bad at all in regards to that. Too bad they don't have a fantasy league to join in here though.

Get Firefox. Get Adblock. Get this Adblock Filter Updater. Say goodbye to ads.

Unless you pay for the site, like myfantasyleague.com or any of the others, you're going to get ads and you'll have no control over it. That's why they're free, because of the ads and if anyone is willing to pay, anyone can put whatever they want there(with a few restrictions).

It's tough to do for free. As was previously suggested, firefox works very well (in my experience) getting rid of ads, so you can try to give that a shot.
