All of our funding goes into the cost of providing a youth softball program for the children in our community. Rampage Softball is a club program and is played in the spring, summer and fall. Practices and some games are played on municipal and board of education fields. The remaining games are played at fields from other travel programs and at tournaments. 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.
