Softball kits for the teams of the Manchester Softball League and various Manchester tournaments as well

Travelling Dodgers started life as a tournament team. We then found a home in the Manchester Softball League and won the league for the first time in 2022.

We consider ourselves a very welcoming team who likes its spiced rum and music. We are a competitive team, but also very friendly, chilled and supportive.

As a tournament team we play in the National Softball League (NSL1) which takes place over 4 weekends in Farnham Park National Softball grounds. We play other weekend tournaments all across the UK and sometimes in Europe.

Check us out on our Facebook group which we use to chart the goings on of the team.
