Welcome to the Manchester Softball League
We are the largest UK slow-pitch softball league outside of London, with four divisions and nearly 30 teams.
The MSL outdoor league runs from April to August, complete with two weekend tournaments featuring some of the best talent in the UK.
We start the calendar year offering indoor softball to keep your skills sharp. If you’re keen to learn the sport, MSL hosts rookie sessions throughout the season.
Come and join our inclusive, competitive and social sport. At MSL, it’s not about prior softball experience: it’s about a new wonderful softball experience, each and every time!
