Club Philosophy

The Ridge Mavericks Soccer Club believes:

"Kids come first" - the motto of the MNJYSA.

Children should have fun.

Children, parents, coaches, opponents, referees, and spectators should be treated with respect and dignity.  Sportsmanship is essential.

A successful player develops both individual as well as team skills. Our program integrates the concepts of good sportsmanship, self-control, self-esteem, integrity, leadership, character, commitment to teamwork and team spirit.

Children learn, develop, and mature in different ways; we have a responsibility to help all our athletes maximize their potential.

We must provide quality leadership, mentoring and role-modeling for our children.

We should instill a sound work ethic and sense of responsibility in our athletes and foster a spirit of contribution in giving back to our community.

Winning is important, but we honor the effort of our athletes over the outcome of a game or season.
