About MVP65
Founded in 2023, MVP65 Cultural Exchange is committed to creating transformative cultural exchange experiences through sport. We value cross cultural appreciation and equitable community and relationship-building. Dedicated to the founder's late uncle, Zoilo Versalles, American League Most Valuable Player in 1965, this organization is committed to honoring Zoilo's pioneering legacy as the first Latino most valuable player in the history of Major League Baseball, and is about nurturing the next generation of young people who will make positive change in the world.
Owner and founder, Luis Versalles, is a former collegiate baseball player with over 23 years of coaching experience at the high school and youth levels. He couples his passion for teaching life lessons through sport and fostering cross cultural understanding with youth into his approach. "Building Bridges through Sport" is a mantra that recognizes the power of sport in forging personal development, and lifelong relationships through the vehicle of athletics and cultural exchange.
