March Madness Turf Series
SAVE THE DATE
-
SAVE THE DATE -
The March Madness Turf Series offers teams high-quality pre-season, full-field turf competition in a flexible, non-traditional format. Instead of a single tournament weekend, teams can self-schedule friendly matches across any of the four weekends in March.
March | Grand Rapids, MI
-
Just like a traditional tournament, the first step is registration. Teams will register through Cognito Forms with a $50 upfront payment. Once registration closes, all registered contacts will receive a link to a Google Sheet, which will include opponent contacts, available field slots, and other key details. From there, coaches can immediately begin self-scheduling matches. All official event communication will come from Events@michiganfutbolacademy.com. The payment link can be found in the ‘payment’ section.
-
March Madness ran as a traditional weekend tournament with three guaranteed games—but Michigan weather is unpredictable. We’ve reimagined the event with a new ‘friendly’ style format offering the same mission, the same competition, that’s more reliable, more affordable, and built to get teams ready for the season ahead.
