The Mission Experience

We continuously ask the question, “How can we make this even better?”  That question has resulted in several ways Mission is unique:

• Communication is Key

  • Coaches will communicate well with players and parents

  • Instructors are hired for their ability to teach and communicate

  • Guiding principles and expectations are communicated to all

  • Schedule is generally set months prior to each season

  • Helping your daughter reach her goals

  • Improving as a teammate and human

  • Our top teams travel nationally 2-4 times per year

  • Past destinations have included Florida, Tennessee, New Jersey, Colorado, Chicago, Wisconsin, Peoria, South Dakota, and Iowa

  • Team rooms are rented when we travel for players to hang out in and bond (until curfew!)

  • Activities on trips include: white water rafting, zip line, laser tag, pickle ball, picnics and sports events

• Mission Style

  • Three styles of cool uniforms with player names

  • 3D logos on helmets

  • Lots of cool apparel

• Philosophy

  • Teams exist for the players (not coaches or parents)

  • Built in time to socialize at team practices and training as well as outside of practice

  • We love and support multi-sport athletes

  • Process for feedback and accountability for parents, players, coaches and director

The core focus for Mission is on developing girls into young ladies in an environment where they have a positive experience. No one is paid a salary within our club. Though all coaches and staff are paid, they do it for the love of the game and the players - not for profit or personal accolades.
