The
Mid-Atlantic Prep League, also known as the
MAPL, is a sports league with participating institutions from
prep schools in the
New Jersey and
Pennsylvania area in the
United States. The league comprises schools known for their academic rigor, but the quality of play in all sports is fairly high. MAPL schools are allowed to have a limited number of post-graduates (student-athletes who have already graduated from high school and are taking an intermediate step between high school and college) on their rosters.
Schools competing in the league include:
Boys' Squash
The Lawrenceville School Boy's Varsity Squash Team has been the winner of the MAPL Squash Championships since 2002.
Boys' basketball
Since its inception in 1999, the MAPL has been an extremely competitive league and arguably the best combination of academics and basketball in the United States. While producing
NBA players
Luol Deng,
Charlie Villanueva and
Royal Ivey (all from Blair), as well as
Joakim Noah (Lawrenceville), the MAPL has also become a pipeline for
Ivy League basketball programs. From 2004-2008 no league in the country produced more Ivy League players than the MAPL and no single school in the country produced as many players as The Hun School.
Blair Academy has been the dominant basketball program in recent years. Compiling a 63-12 record since the leagues inception in 1999 and winning 7 of the last 10 league championships.
