Athletes are not evaluated only on speed, talent, or highlight plays. Being PMKR means upholding the standard.
We Also Evaluate
// What To Expect
Six Expectations.
Structured Development
Organized practices, Study Hall, film review, conditioning work, athletic development, and competitive tournament opportunities. This is a developmental environment.
Competitive Expectations
Accountability. Structured preparation. Role clarity. Consistent communication. High-effort practices. Every rep matters.
Player-Led Environment
Athletes contribute ideas, communicate actively, and participate in development. Leadership is shared. Accountability is mutual. Structure still matters.
Attendance
Communicate availability early. Attend practices consistently. Participate in Study Hall. Respond to team communication. Show up prepared.
Effort
Pursue every play. Communicate constantly. Compete fully. Support teammates. Stay engaged. Quitting on reps is not tolerated.
Communication
Respond respectfully. Communicate conflicts. Support teammates constructively. Handle conflict maturely, directly, and respectfully.
// Two Tiers. One Pathway.
Enter Rise.
Earn Black.
PMKR is built as two squads with one standard. Rise is the local 7s development environment everyone enters through. Black is the national 5s travel roster pulled from athletes who've earned it inside Rise.
// [L1] · Local · 7s
PMKR Rise
Atlanta · Open Entry
Development & league play. Build chemistry, learn the system, earn reps. A valid permanent home — not a holding pen.
// [L2] · National · 5s
PMKR Black
Travel · Invite-Only
Elite national travel competition. Selected from Rise. National exposure, pressure performance, and elite execution.
// The Pathway
Rise Is A Valid Permanent Home. Black Is Earned.
Movement into Black is based on development, chemistry, communication, attendance, effort, role fit, and performance inside Rise. No tryouts. No politics. Earn it on the field.
// What We Value Most
The Foundation.
Discipline
Preparation matters.
Communication
Silent teams lose.

Standards matter.
Versatility
Adaptability creates value.
