Midlife Mavericks

Team Manifesto

We, the Midlife Mavericks, are a spirited group hailing from Miami Beach and beyond, united in our love for softball and the joy of camaraderie. As we journey through our 40s and above,

we pledge to embrace the following principles:

Fun First

Our primary goal is to have fun. We play with laughter in our hearts and smiles on our faces, knowing that enjoyment is the true measure of our success.

Inclusive Spirit

While our roots are at Miami Beach Senior High, we open our arms to all who share our passion and values. Our team is a melting pot of experiences and backgrounds, enriching us all.

Role Models

We acknowledge that we are looked up to by others. We strive to set a positive example, both on and off the field, embodying sportsmanship and integrity.

Belonging

We seek to be part of something greater than ourselves. This team is our extended family, a community where everyone is valued and belongs.

Mutual Support

We believe in lifting each other up. Whether it's a high-five for a great hit or a comforting word after a tough game, we are there for each other.

Light-hearted Commitment

We don't take ourselves too seriously. While we commit to winning, it's the fun and friendship that truly count.

Positivity

We maintain a positive attitude, focusing on what we can achieve rather than what we can't. This mindset is contagious and is the cornerstone of our team spirit.

Self-Care

We push ourselves to excel but recognize our limits. Our health and well-being come first, ensuring we can enjoy the game for years to come.

Integrity

We stick to our word. If we say we'll do something, we do it. This reliability strengthens our trust in each other.

Showing Up

We show up for each other, both on game days and in life. Our presence is a testament to our commitment to the team and to one another.

Extended Family

While we all have our primary families, the Midlife Mavericks are like an extended family. We support and celebrate each other, adding another layer of connection and camaraderie to our lives.

Back-Up Brigade

We have each other's backs, always. In times of need, we step up for our teammates, knowing they would do the same for us.

Generosity of Spirit

We believe in giving before receiving. Helping a teammate or a community member is not just an act of kindness; it's a fundamental part of who we are.

We commit to these principles, to each other, and to the joyous journey of being Midlife Mavericks.

Here's to the games ahead, the memories we'll create, and the unbreakable bonds we'll forge.

Go Mavericks!

Dale!
