An Open Letter From New MSL League Head Luis Arrevillagas

Dear Manchester Softball League Captains, Players, and Friends,

We hope you’re all doing well and looking forward to a wonderful Christmas and New Years’ with your loved ones.

As we gear up for the 2025 season, your exec team is excited and ready for what’s ahead. We’ve been getting to know each other, especially with some new members joining, and we’re working to find the best ways to collaborate and support the league moving forward.

On a personal note, I’d like to encourage you to reach out to us if you have any questions or if you have a skill you believe could benefit the league. As volunteers, our time is always a bit stretched, so any help or support is always welcomed.

We also wanted to share some links to help you stay connected with the league:

  • The end-of-season Bases Loaded publication is available here.
  • Confirmed dates for the 2025 Manchester Tournament calendar can be found here.
  • Additionally, we’re pleased to support Leo Pearn of Camels in running Indoor Softball every Sunday at 2:00pm in Fallowfield. It’s a fantastic way to stay active during the off-season and to introduce new players to the game. More details are available here.
  • Additionally: registration for the 2025 season will be here before you know it. If you want to get involved, check out our Get Involved page, where you can Find a Team, discover the opportunities of our wonderful sport and learn more about our rookie sessions (returning in April 2025).
