Testimonials

The best people to ask about the Greater Lansing Sports Authority are anyone who's worked with us.

"We are grateful for all of the help we have received and will hopefully see from local businesses in the future. One in particular that we continue to pinch ourselves because of all their help is from the Greater Lansing Sports Authority (GLSA). These event planning gurus are willing to help any sporting event, at any stage of the event planning process, become a success. As a nonprofit, representing the tri-county area, the GLSA offers a myriad of free services such as promotional materials, media assistance, program planning, and staffing assistance."

"I've been to big racquetball tournaments all across the country and no one does the kind of job that the GLSA does. Their hard work makes our event more than spectacular. Things go smoothly, the event is memorable and the way they open up all there is to do in this community to visitors is just awesome."
-Dan Mullin

"The GLSA has been a great partner not only in the Northern Championships, which set a huge new record for attendance this year, but in many events in the past. I simply can't think of a better place to hold a tournament than Greater Lansing. Great fields, nice friendly people, and the help of the GLSA. We look forward to coming back to Lansing for many years to come."
-Terry Hennessey
Senior Softball USA

"I'm very pleased with the venues and lodging in the Greater Lansing area, but what really makes a tournament in this community shine is the work done by the Greater Lansing Sports Authority. The help they provided up front, during the event and afterward was truly invaluable."
-Debbie Cochran
United States Bowling Congress Lansing Chapter

"Working with the GLSA has made the sports event experience in this community simply wonderful. They go above and beyond to help plan, clear any red tape and just make things smooth with everything from lodging to the meeting and sports facilities we need. Greater Lansing makes a lot of sense for our organization- the GLSA is icing on the cake."
-Ed Dutcher
Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan

"At Waverly/Lansing Catholic Lacrosse we hold 3 large tournaments each spring and we have always had a mind to make them grow. Last year, the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau contacted me to see if there was any way they could help us promote our tournaments. The staff, (particularly Mike Price and John Young) are the most informative and enthusiastic people we have ever worked with. They brought up ideas and concepts that we never thought of to promote ourselves (as a club) and the tournaments.

With their help, a huge amount of business was brought to the community through the use of a web site they created. The site provides information about the community as well as help locating dining, shopping and lodging. The feedback from the people attending the tournaments was tremendous. We can't wait to get started on this year's tournaments!"
