On June 18, the Michigan Sports Field Managers Association (MiSFMA) hosted its annual Summer Field Day at West Ottawa High School, bringing together professionals from throughout the region for a day of education, networking and hands-on learning.
The event featured three expert-led sessions focused on critical aspects of sports field care:
- “Setting Your Fields Up for Success” – presented by Brian Hall
- “Poa Suppression & the Benefits of PGRs” – presented by Britt Barry
- “Hybrid Surfaces and Proper Hygiene” – presented by Ryan Bearss
Attendees rotated through each session, gaining practical knowledge and fresh strategies to apply to their own facilities. In addition to the educational programming, participants enjoyed field tours, raffle prizes, and networking opportunities.
