Adult Softball in Midland

Softball Capital of Michigan

For many years, Midland has been known as “the softball capital of Michigan,” which refers to the city’s rich history of softball; especially men’s fast pitch softball. Club teams such as the Dow AC’s in the 50s, Nick’s in the 60s and more recently the Explorers and Emerson ACE's have and will continue to further the sport and its importance in Midland.

Midland Softball Association

For over 35 years, the City of Midland and the Midland Softball Association (MSA) have worked in partnership to provide adult softball to the thousands who play each year. The The MSA is a volunteer board comprised of local softball enthusiasts and players. The Association include an Executive Board and several Members-at-Large that represent the different divisions of softball.
