Marky LaValley is one of the brightest young talents in junior disc golf, combining competitive success with curiosity, creativity, and character well beyond his years. In 2025, he captured the Junior World Championship title in the MJ08 division and also won the Junior World Distance Competition, establishing himself as a standout at the sport’s highest junior level.
At just seven years old, Marky has already recorded an 885-rated round and collected multiple tournament victories, reflecting both natural ability and a growing understanding of the game. His skill set is complemented by a strong work ethic and an enthusiasm for learning that extends far beyond the course.
Outside of competition, Marky enjoys reading, playing board games, and exploring complex ideas, including subjects like modal logic. He is actively involved in his church community in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he often participates as a worship leader through singing. His faith, family support, and love of learning play an important role in shaping his approach to both competition and life.
As a new member of Team GRIPeq, Marky represents the future of disc golf, not just through results, but through curiosity, balance, and joy in the process.
