What MLR stands for

  1. Mindset

    How we approach challenges matters. We want players who are willing to learn, work, compete, respond to adversity, and keep improving.

  2. Leadership

    Not the loudest player or the captain’s armband. Taking responsibility, setting an example, and doing the right thing when nobody has to remind you.

  3. Respect

    Respect for the people on the field and around it, and for the game itself. Sportsmanship and integrity, on and off the field. You can compete hard and still treat everyone well.
