The MAVS have a Board of Directors to manage club policy and direct the future of the club.
The Mavericks teams play in first-class tournaments throughout the mid-west. Past destinations have included Dallas, Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, Memphis, Kansas City as well as World Series events. Our mission is to teach and develop life skills for student-athletes through the game of baseball and create men of character.
With our continued growth in the club, the MAVS have added a High School program for those that aspire to play collegiately and beyond.
- Tournaments Where You'll Find The Mavs
- It’s More Than Just Baseball
- Good Players Make Good Citizens
- A Club of Character, Citizenship & Champions
We recommend to our teams that they conduct a community service project annually – Past teams have served food at The Kitchen, Adopted a Family during the Holiday Season, Volunteered at Convoy of Hope, Raked leaves, and done yard work for seniors.
We believe in improving the field for future generations of ballplayers at our facility with an annual project to enhance the baseball facility and leave a legacy.
Baseball builds character, memories, and friendships.
“Good Ball Players Make Good Citizens.”
