MFA's March Madness
MFA’s March Madness was established in 2019 with one mission: to give teams quality pre-season full-field turf competition. For 5 years, this was organized as a traditional tournament structure where teams played a minimum of 3 games on one weekend. However, Michigan’s unpredictable weather led to the unfortunate cancellation of two tournament weekends, which led us to develop an exciting new format with the same mission: help prepare teams for the season ahead, at a fraction of the cost!
MFA's New March Madness
Going forward, MFA’s March Madness will have a new look, but with the same goal: get teams as many pre-season games as they desire! Now, instead of being limited to one weekend, we are organizing games across the entire month of March—giving teams the flexibility to create the schedule they desire, and games can be played as the weather permits. All match-ups will be officiated by US Soccer referees and all communications will be organized by West Michigan Soccer’s full-time staff.
