Next Level Sports Center and Kalsee Credit Union join to form the Kalsee Dome.

Kalsee Credit Union and Next Level Sports Center in Schoolcraft have announced a new partnership, signaled by renaming of the facility’s iconic dome to the Kalsee Dome at Next Level Sports Center.

Both organizations say the collaboration reflects their shared values: supporting youth development, promoting wellness, and investing in the southwest Michigan community. More than just a name change, the partnership signifies a long-term commitment to enhancing opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities, they said in a prepared statement.

As part of this partnership, a Kalsee Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) will also be installed on the campus, offering convenient banking services for visitors, families, and members of the sports center.

“We are excited to partner with Next Level Sports Center,” said Matt Lahman, CEO of Kalsee Credit Union. “This partnership reflects our dedication to supporting local businesses and fostering community engagement. We are especially proud to be part of Next Level’s facilities and programming expansion following the recent installation of their much larger Dome with new volleyball and pickleball courts.”

The Sports Center, which serves thousands of local families each year, has been expanding its reach and programming with a mission to create “a million moments of fun” through youth athletics, camps, leagues, and inclusive programs.

“The Kalsee Dome represents more than just a name change; it symbolizes our joint effort to enhance the experience for everyone who visits our facility,” said Josh Baird, owner of Next Level Sports Center. “Kalsee helped make our expansion project possible, and we look forward to their continued positive impact on our athletes and families.”

Kalsee Credit Union offers personal and business banking, rewards checking, loans, mortgages, and investment services in Kalamazoo, Portage, Battle Creek and throughout southwest Michigan.
