LA Mongrel's Commitment to Community Amid Exciting NRL Investment

We are thrilled to hear about the landmark partnership between the Sydney Roosters and the USA Rugby League (USARL). This collaboration is a significant step forward for rugby league in the United States, and we welcome the Roosters' efforts to enhance the sport's development and visibility across the country. Additionally, this agreement will see the LA Bandidos rebrand, and we wish them the best in their new journey.

Our Vision and Commitment

While the excitement of NRL investment is great, our focus remains on our community roots. At LA Mongrel, we are dedicated to creating a true community team that retains its unique identity and culture. Our vision is to provide rugby league opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation.

Embracing the Community

We recognize that not everyone aspires to play at the elite level, and that’s perfectly okay. There is a home for those with a deep commitment to growing their community club. At LA Mongrel, we believe in the power of sports to bring communities together and provide opportunities for personal growth and development. Our club is built on the values of inclusivity, teamwork, and perseverance.

Creating a strong culture is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to foster an environment where every player, coach, and supporter feels like part of a family. Our culture emphasizes hard work, dedication, and mutual respect, ensuring that everyone involved has a positive and enriching experience. We believe that by building this culture, we can inspire our community to achieve great things both on and off the field.

A Welcoming Environment

We strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported. At LA Mongrel, we offer opportunities for men's, women's, and youth teams, ensuring that there is a place for everyone. Whether you're new to the sport or have years of experience, there's a place for you at LA Mongrel. We invite you to join us, be part of our family, and help us build a stronger, more vibrant rugby league community.

Looking to the Future

As the oldest club in California and founding partners in the Pacific Coast Rugby League (PCRL), we are committed to making rugby league accessible to all, especially low-income families. We recognize that options for participation in sports can be limited for low-income families, and our aim is to provide an affordable platform where talent can flourish. By offering a welcoming and supportive environment, we want to ensure that families with restricted access to sports still have the opportunity to engage and excel in rugby league.

Building Strategic Partnerships

We are excited about the future of rugby league in the US and are eager to create partnerships with organizations both domestically and internationally. We are open to working with NRL and Super League organizations, strategic partners, and other rugby entities to foster growth and development. Our goal is to build the Mongrel Global Rugby League Network, connecting both professional and amateur ranks.

By establishing long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships, we aim to elevate the sport and create opportunities for players at all levels. We believe that collaboration is key to achieving our vision and making a significant impact on the rugby league landscape.

Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we will continue to promote and develop the sport we love.
