Athletes Participate Yearly
In 1991 Dr. Larry Edwards, a physical education instructor at the University of Memphis, created the tournament to build community among various areas of Memphis, both urban and suburban. In 2004, MAM started hosting the event and renamed it the “MAM Classic.” This event has become a staple in the local sports calendar and has garnered widespread popularity among schools and communities alike. Every year, approximately 100 boys and girls teams across the Mid-South converge to participate in this tournament.
The MAM Classic serves as a unique platform where city, county, and private middle schools from diverse communities and size classifications come together in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship. The tournament offers a competitive environment that not only tests the athletic skills of the young players but also instills valuable life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, and fair play. Through the MAM Classic, MAM aims to contribute positively to the overall development of the youth in the Mid-South, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle while reinforcing the importance of education and community involvement.
