Mission Statement

Our Goal for 2026

In 2026, we will prioritize creating an organized team with a high skill ceiling that can actively employ strategies via homegrown ingenuity. Our primary goal is to have 10 out of 15 players on the National Team.

The year will operate under three phases: the off-season administrative renaissance, preparation for Nationals, and training for Worlds.
