Absolutely. Parents are welcome to stay and watch, or drop off and come back after the session.

Sessions run in light rain. Heavy rain, lightning, or unsafe conditions cancel the session, and registered parents are notified.

If MRL cancels, every registered player receives the session credit back automatically. Paid sessions are nonrefundable. If a player cancels, the credit returns to that original player. A no-show without canceling forfeits the session or credit.

MRL is led by founder and head coach Ethan Larson. Adult coaches lead and supervise groups, with experienced player mentors supporting when appropriate.
