MSA-Livingston is built for every stage of an athlete’s journey. Our programs range from beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced athletes looking for high-level training and competition.

We focus on three key groups:

• Beginner athletes learning the game and building confidence

• Developing players looking for consistent training and skill growth

• Advanced athletes preparing for high school and collegiate competition

Our goal is to meet athletes where they are and help them grow through great coaching, strong fundamentals, and a positive environment.

MSA-Livingston offers a wide range of programs so families can choose the level of commitment that works best for them.

For athletes looking for something simple and flexible, our Monday One-Day Clinics provide a great training opportunity for just $20 per session. For those wanting more individualized development, we offer lesson packages and small group training.

Athletes who are ready for a more consistent schedule can also join an MSA Summer Team, which includes regular weekly practices, strength and conditioning, and additional development opportunities throughout the season.

Our goal is to provide multiple pathways for athletes to train, improve, and stay involved in the game, whether they’re looking for a casual training option or a more structured competitive experience.

MSA-Livingston is led by a coaching staff with experience across every level of the game, anchored by two generations of collegiate coaching. Karl Kling brings more than 30 years of experience coaching youth, high school, and college baseball, including serving as the founding head coach at Cleary University, previously leading the program at Concordia University Ann Arbor, and working as the pitching coach at NCAA Division II Saginaw Valley State University. His son, Dawson Kling, serves as Director of Baseball & Softball Operations at MSA and will become the Head Baseball Coach at Great Lakes Christian College in Lansing beginning Fall of 2026.

Supporting that leadership is a coaching staff with backgrounds across youth, travel, varsity high school, and collegiate baseball and softball. From helping 6-year-olds fall in love with the game for the first time to preparing advanced athletes to compete at the college level, our coaches bring experience at every stage of development—creating a clear pathway that builds strong fundamentals early and helps athletes grow into confident, skilled players as they progress.
