Community Sports Across the Upper Midwest

Seasonal Sports in small towns across the Iron Range of Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Welcome to Madcow Sports

A group of community leagues founded to bring sports to small town communities across the Upper Midwest. Our main goal is to put the community back in community sports.

Community Sports Leagues

We have been focusing on community sports since the 1950's, when our first league was founded in the Iron Range of Minnesota.
We then added townball (baseball) in the 60's.

Then in 2009 we broadened our reach creating Madcow Sports and including small towns across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Now, we have year-round seasonal sports in both the UP and the Iron Range.
