Select League Double Goal - nurturing the next generation of lax leaders

New in 2011, MBGLL offers a select league for the 5th through 8th grade teams for its more advanced players. Athletes who play on these teams must also commit to MBGLL's recreational practices and games. 


Our reasons for creating the new leagues was to provide the opportunity for the more advanced players to continue to learn the game, play higher levels of competition, and leverage the league scale and infrastructure.


Our requirement to have the players play in both the rec league and the select league is for these players to understand that it is their duty and responsibility to help promote and grow the sport by helping new players learn the game.  Rather than allowing these players to become an elite clique of select players, strive to have them become leaders on the rec team and help teach the game to the less skilled players. This carries over to 'off the field' activities and eventually these players become our next generation of coaches, administrators and keepers of the flame. 


We score the 'Double Goal' as the players continue to learn and love the sport while they learn life's lessons and become the best people and players they can be.
