The Michigan Cornhole Association (MCA) strengthens local Clubs, connects players through District competition, and opens a path to statewide recognition. Whether you throw on weekends, run a Club, or want to back the game, there’s a place for you here
What is the Michgan Cornhole Association?
The Michigan Cornhole Association (MCA) is a Club-first cornhole organization serving players across Michigan. Local Clubs host qualifying events, neighboring Clubs come together in District competition, and one State Championship closes the season. The MCA supports and connects its Clubs. It doesn’t run them.
We support Club independence, encourage player development, promote fair play, and give players of every skill level a clear pathway.
