The GLSA makes it happen. If it was not for the support that we get, this event and possibly rugby in Lansing would not exist. Thanks again. 10/19 - Waylon Sanford, Michigan Rugby Cup

Miranda, Tom, and the entire Greater Lansing Sports Authority team were outstanding for the second year in a row.

Tom and Miranda always greet me with a smile and enthusiasm! 06/2019 - Kim Spalsbury, Midwest Meet of Champions

There are times when it feels like the GLSA handles everything other than calling balls and strikes for us.

They supply us with terrific volunteer staff who are always smiling, rain or shine. We consider ourselves lucky to have such a solid partner for our mid-Michigan tournament events. 06/05/2019 - Andi, Michigan High School Athletic Association

The Sports Authority is instrumental in the success of this event. I hope they know how much they are appreciated by the committees and the charities it benefits. 9/25/2018 - Fifth Third Capital City River Run, Michelle Coss, CTA

You feel they WANT you to succeed are there to HELP you do that. 9/19/2018 – Paddle for YOUR Cause, Elizabeth Maxwell

GLSA made beautiful welcome baskets for all our head coaches. It was such a nice and unexpected touch that really helped make each team feel special. We are so proud of MSU and showing off everything we have to offer in the Greater Lansing Area; it was very cool to get to share that with the out of town teams and have them experience how great the Lansing area really is. 9/18/2018- Mary Fossum Invitational, Caroline Powers
