It’s More Than Just Baseball
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 did 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.

We Travel
We believe in creating an awesome travel baseball experience. We differ from others. Our focus is to experience baseball through competition at varying locations across the region. We go where the competition is!
- The youth season starts on August 1st.
- We play tournaments from March through mid-July.
- We have fall activities and camps included in your fee.
- Fall Tournaments are at the discretion of the Head Coach.
- Our winter workouts start in mid-January and go through the first of March.
- Our player pitch teams typically play between 40 and 60 games consisting of out of town tournaments.
- Our Coach pitch teams typically play between 25-45 games (pending age level) and these teams do participate in local leagues as well as travel.
- The season will conclude with your team’s World Series in July.
We will make every effort to select our teams as soon as possible after tryouts. The process will be as follows:
- You will receive an email offer of acceptance for a spot on a roster
- You will have a designated time frame to respond to accept the spot
- Upon acceptance, you will receive by email with paperwork and instructions
- Your Deposit will be due in order to complete your acceptance to the team
- Should you not make the team, you will also receive an email
No team activities are allowed until the fee deposit is paid.
Please note, the process can move rather quickly or it can be delayed pending the response rate of the selected families. We will do everything to expedite the process on our end.
At the conclusion of all team formulations, we will host an all-club parent meeting and signing day event, where the Mavs signs a “player agreement” to play baseball by the MAVS 101 Ways.
