Our mission
Our mission is clear: to cultivate athletic skills in boys and girls while fostering discipline, growth, and readiness to excel in high school athletics and beyond.
We stand on the foundation of R.A.P.T.O.R.S. — Responsible Athletes Progressing To Optimize Real Skills. Through experienced coaching, structured player development, and positive encouragement, we prepare athletes not only for success on the court, but also for success in life.
Our philosophy is to instill:
- A positive attitude and confidence
- Strong sportsmanship and respect
- Mastery of the fundamentals
- High standards and accountability
MAC Athletics is committed to teaching teamwork while promoting the love of the game.

MAC Athletics is a nonprofit premier youth event company founded in 2007 with the purpose of providing an organized structure for youths to compete in basketball at all levels of skill. MAC operates all Raptors Basketball programs (High-level travel basketball teams) and runs tournaments across the Midwest. With profits from events and donors, we provide deserving athletes a path into college through youth basketball.
It is our goal to produce outstanding student-athletes and to help them to achieve their goals. Please note that we, depending on participation, we try to have two teams per age level and sex. We call the levels “Purple” and “White”. The purple level is for more experienced players and the white level is for developmental players.
MAC Athletics believes that many life lessons are learned through competitive basketball and strives to ensure mutual respect is earned so that lessons learned are transformed from teamwork on the court today to positive contributions in society tomorrow.
