Over the last few years, we have seen the power and impact of youth and amateur sports even when tourism almost came to a standstill, shining brightly as the first part of the industry to recover. And we not only recovered from the pandemic and resulting economic recession, but we’re back in a growth mode.

In 2022, we celebrated numerous achievements – from record economic impact, to an expanded Winter Games, to a blockbuster baseball/softball season, to the launch of a capital campaign that will expand our Meijer Sports Complex, to launching our first ever annual report to share our accomplisments over the past year.

All of this would not be possible without the support of our staff, board and advisory council, volunteers, and the West Michigan community. Thank you for the support you have shown our nonprofit not only over the past year, but since we opened in 2007. We look forward to seeing what is in store for 2023!
