  • Academic All-Stars

    The Mavs and Flowserve are pleased to present Academic All-Stars. We know how hard students have to work each school year, and we want to recognize them for their achievements!

    Academic All-Stars is designed to recognize Metroplex elementary and middle school students who are either excelling in school or have made significant improvements between grading periods by rewarding them for their hard work. Principals, counselors, and teachers can nominate their Academic All-Stars by submitting a nomination form. Ten (10) winners will be selected in each of the fall and spring semesters. Each winner will receive a Mavs goody bag and tickets to a Mavs game!

    Special thanks to Flowserve for their support of this program.

  • Reading Challenge
    The Mavs are again offering the annual Mavs Reading Challenge open to all 2nd-5th grade Metroplex students, which supports the NBA's Read to Acheive/Lee Para Aprender literacy program that promotes the value of reading and online literacy and encourages families and adults to read regularly with young children.

    The Reading Challenge's focus is to encourage students in grades 2-5 to read in their leisure time and to teach them that reading can be fun! The program runs for two months (dates to be determined each season) and prizes are awarded based on the number of minutes a student reads. The school that reads the most minutes overall wins a pep rally from a Mavericks player.

    Schools interested in partcipating should contact Gina Calvert at
    gina.calvert@dallasmavs.com.

    Special thanks to MetroPCS for their support of this program.
