"Our son's experience in the Mavs program was extremely positive.  For four years, the coaches provided him an environment to really learn and appreciate the game of baseball as he developed a true passion for the sport.  The program focused on strong fundamentals which prepared him for the high school level and beyond. NC Mavs stressed the importance of working hard in the classroom first and the true meaning of being a STUDENT athlete. Every practice and every game, there was discussion and coaching on how to work toward getting better every day in baseball, the classroom and in life. Those lessons transferred to other aspects of his development into the person and athlete he has become. We will always be grateful for the groundwork that provided our son the ability to excel as a college student athlete."   --Mark and Colleen Scheidler

"I didn't know how lucky I was to have a program like this in our community. I thought this staff of college and high school coaches would groom these kids into an elite travel team, and we'd spend the summer traveling all over the west... this program had a much higher goal in mind, to teach the value of hustling and having respect for the game, the value of being a good teammate and having each other's back, how to be humble in victory and how to handle the inevitable failures.

 

It wasn't until years later while playing on one of those elite travel teams that I realized how much Spencer stood out because of these key characteristics. He always sprinted on and off the field, if he struck out he let the next batter know what he saw and hustled back to the dugout and he was there to give a high five or pick up a teammate if he made an error. This was the respect for the game and the values he has carried with him that he learned from North County Mavs program." -Chris Jones
