The Macon Bucks is a youth amateur basketball league. This program was designed to help develop our youth into the total athlete. Our primary purpose is to help the youths in our program do well academically while also developing their athletic abilities. Our team travels to several states to play in YBOA and AAU Tournaments. Our program was initiated in October of 2003. It consists of volunteers totally committed to the success of this program. Ourmission is to create life long learners who will go on to become productive members of our society. Without this program many of the youths that are currently in our program would not have the strong male role models we have present to help them succeed. Many of the youths come from low income home environments with very few opportunities to participate in organized sports programs which travel outside their local community. We offer a very positive outlet for the young men who participate with us. The Macon Bucks consists of boys ages 10 – 17. Some boys need full instruction in the fundamental of basketball, while others are very talented youths who are planning to attend college within a few years. Everyone involved in our program feels very strongly that education is the number one key to success, but that athletics is an important aspect also. We are providing a safe and effective program which encompasses both of these domains.
