All of our funding goes into the cost of providing a youth softball program for the children in our community. The recreation program is played primarily in the spring, with some teams playing in the fall and with most games being played on municipal or board of education fields in Rockaway Township and Denville Township. The Board consists of officers (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary) and trustees that meet monthly to discuss and operate the program. Meetings are typically conducted in Municipal Buildings or at a trustee's office. All of our Board members are volunteers, as well as our team managers. We do on occasion hire instructors to attend practices or training sessions. Our softball organization provides a valuable community service while providing children an opportunity to learn and play the game of softball.
