About
The Desert Foothills Athletic Club has been a staple in the Cave Creek basketball scene since 1997.
With over two decades of successful operations, Mark Machin is still at the helm and leading the basketball program. As the community grew, DFAC withstood the competition of other programs by standing by the original standards and purpose it was founded on:
Community | Competition | Learning | Fun
Our Mission
Our mission at Desert Foothills Athletic Club is to promote health and fitness through excellence in youth sports based on skill, sportsmanship, values, and player character. Our program provides a safe, family-oriented environment for natural player development and prepares players to excel during competition, training and in everyday life experiences.
