STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES & OPERATIONSRT Girls' Softball, Inc., is a youth softball association where the sole purpose of the organization is the development of youth softball players from the ages of 4 - 18. The organization draws players primarily from Rockaway Township in northern New Jersey. However, players can join our organization from any neighboring community in New Jersey.The primary function of the organization is to provide players and the teams they play on with all the equipment, framework, and instruction necessary to learn and play the game. That includes, but is not limited to all of the following:"Fields & Field Maintenance"Training & InstructionUmpiresEquipmentInsura... & Safety"Licensing and Registration"UniformsFunding for our program comes from three sources - 1) A registration fee that is charged to the parents of every player who registers to play in our program and 2) Fund Raising and 3) annual contributions of funds from Rockaway Township. 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.
