Basketball Expands to Include Travel Program Head Basketball Coach Earl Martin’s vision of turning MAC’s Junior Basketball program into a year-round endeavor has led to the creation of a Junior Basketball Travel Program.
This year, an eighth-grade travel team will represent the club at regional and national tournaments in Washington, California, and Nevada. The plan is to add sixth- and seventh-grade teams next year with more of MAC’s best young players.
This travel extension is completely new to the MAC Basketball program, and there’s plenty of excitement and enthusiasm from the eighth-grade players who are looking forward to competing and leveling up their skills before entering high school.
The MAC Junior Basketball helps athletes develop fundamental skills and grow at all levels. Says coach Martin, “We strive to have a program that offers skilled players an opportunity to compete at the highest levels as well as provide an environment for developing players to improve all-around skills while creating an interest and love for the game.”
