MVB Culture Is a Choice

MVB culture isn't "new" or "improved." It has existed for decades.

  • Values hard work 
  • Makes learning a priority
  • Practices both the Golden Rule and the Silver Rule (the Silver Rule is "do not treat others as you would not want to be treated.") 
  • Welcomes younger players
  • Shares - older players teach younger players
  • Encourages - reserve players are "in" the game
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."

"You get the culture that you accept." 

"Fight for your culture every day." 

This is a quintessential example, a "signature play" in MVB history:

The 2022 team showed maximum resilience during a postseason match with Billerica. 

Set 4, Melrose leads 2-1, 23-22. Ruth Breen slows an attack, Emma Desmond makes a running one-handed save going out of bounds, and Chloe Gentile gets a kill with an athletic adjustment. Watch the bench.
