Michigan Sports Academies (MSA) Lakeshore announced the completion of a major expansion at its Holland facility, increasing the campus from three to ten acres. The project adds 54,150 square feet of indoor athletic space and a new 91,500‑square‑foot outdoor turf field.
Indoor facilities for year‑round play
The indoor portion includes 27,000 square feet of synthetic turf designed for 7‑on‑7 soccer and a 13,000‑square‑foot hard‑court area for basketball and volleyball. A new gymnasium houses three basketball courts and four additional volleyball courts, while a concession area and retail space serve athletes and families.
“A big need for the indoor turf facility,” said Scott Redman, MSA Lakeshore’s building manager. “Here in West Michigan, soon things will change, and this has a really nice roof over it, and it’s nice and toasty in there.” He added that the new space is already filling up quickly.
Outdoor field and community impact
The outdoor turf field is marked for 11‑on‑11 youth soccer, lacrosse and football, expanding options for local teams. Hope College’s men’s lacrosse squad has already begun using the indoor turf for practice.
Local athletes are enthusiastic. Twelve‑year‑old Evie Kiekintveld described the expansion as “really big” with “a lot of space that people could play on.” Her teammate, Victoria Tapia, noted that families no longer need to travel 45 minutes to Grand Rapids for quality facilities.
Programs and regional reach
MSA Lakeshore offers youth programs through the Michigan Basketball Academy, Michigan Volleyball Academy and Michigan Futbol Academy, as well as adult soccer, pickleball, and flag‑football leagues. The site includes six dedicated pickleball courts for open play, leagues, tournaments and private rentals.
The organization serves more than 8,500 youth athletes ages 2 to 19 annually across five West Michigan locations. The Holland expansion aims to attract families from surrounding communities such as Grand Haven and Muskegon, strengthening local recreation options.
