Maverick Program
All prospective Wranglers must complete a semester long program called the “Maverick Program”. We target young men who display leadership, a commitment to service, scholarship, athletic ability, and the willingness to accept a challenge. As a Maverick, you will be given weekly responsibilities which you are expected to complete both individually and as a class. These responsibilities include weekly meetings, multiple hours of community service, study hours twice a week, getting to know the individuals of the organization one-on-one, and a rigorous workout program designed to strengthen your mind and body. The Maverick Program is difficult to complete but extremely rewarding. While the program is both physically and mentally taxing, rest assured that every individual is treated with the utmost respect. Maverick candidates will never be asked to do anything humiliating, degrading, or harmful to themselves or others. We take pride in our actions and expect Maverick candidates to do the same. Our 30 year history shows that Maverick classes stick together. Upon completion of the Maverick semester you and your fellow Maverick brothers will share a bond for life. These men and the rest of the Wrangler body will be there to support you in the toughest of times and celebrate with you in the best of times. It truly is an experience unlike any other.
The program is constructed to help Mavericks understand the core values of the Texas Wranglers. Everything we do has a purpose, and the activities help reinforce the principles we believe are a part of a fulfilling life. Almost everything you do as a Maverick will be done as a class, and one of the most notable challenges is completing the workout program. The workouts are run by ex-Rangers and Special Forces who focus on fitness, team building, self discipline, strength conditioning, and cardiovascular endurance to improve your physical and mental performance. The workouts are difficult but constantly reinforce an attitude of perseverance.
Mavericks is more than a club or a resume builder. Mavericks requires grit and determination, but if you’re willing to accept the challenge, you’ll be satisfied in more ways than you ever thought possible.
If you are interested in hearing more about what it takes to become a Texas Wrangler, be sure to attend the recruitment events and turn in your application by Sunday, February 7th by 11:59 P.M.
