The 10th annual Northern Championships returns to Lansing, Mich., for the eighth time. The capital city attracted 41 teams in 2014. Here is what players had to say:

“The Northern Championships is always well-run and professional. The weather is usually warm, the fields are great, and the umpires are outstanding. If you want to play softball, play at a Senior Softball USA tournament. There is a lot of team participation and the competition is always good.”
– McKensley Crumpton, Motown Stars (MI), Men’s 60 Major

“SSUSA runs exceptional tournaments.”
– Jim McIntyre, Blue Chips 60 (IL), Men’s 60 AAA

“The Northern Championships has always been a fun experience for us and we put it on our schedule. The sports complex is one of the finest around. Good competition, great location, good food at the cantina and well-spaced out game schedules. Extremely well done.”
– Justin (Jud) Gebben, Pfeiffer Gray Sox (MI), Men’s 75 AAA
