Miss Manatee Softball League – Board & Leadership
Miss Manatee Softball League is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors and strengthened by an amazing group of volunteer coordinators who support league operations, events, and communication throughout the year.
To send a message to the board please email: [email protected]!
Questions & Communication
You can always email the board at [email protected], however please keep in mind that many answers can be found on our website or Facebook page.
During an active season, please follow the Organization Chart as your first point of communication.
For example:
-
If you have a team-related question, your first contact should be your Dugout Coordinator or Head Coach through your team’s GroupMe chat.
-
If they are unable to answer your question, it will be escalated through the appropriate channels until we can get you the information you need.
This process helps ensure faster responses and keeps communication organized throughout the league.
