The first weekend of October, AVID Rampage tackled two battles, on two different stages, in two different states, on two different days. Since the end of last season, our Rampage family has continued to grow and expand, and this weekend proved the perfect opportunity to show that we are dedicated to finding appropriate development opportunities for all of our players. On Saturday, Rampage White played in the West Virginia Development Friendlies in Morgantown, West Virginia. On Sunday, Rampage Gold played two league play games at the Maryland Soccerplex in Germantown, Maryland to close out their regular season play in the SAM Select league. Head Coach Lee Beeman said, “For the better part of a year, our goal as a team has been to continue to expand to a point that we are able to offer appropriate development opportunities to all of our players. By expanding to two tiered rosters, we can create opportunities to build confidence, hone individual skills, and develop well rounded players. Not much changes behind the scenes; we all train together and the rosters are fluid. I’m very excited about the direction our team is headed!” Rampage will continue with this model for the upcoming event winter indoor seasons.

The AVID Blaze girls enjoyed great day in Morgantown at the West Virginia Development Friendlies! The teams gave us tough competition, but the girls gave it their all! The advancement of skill throughout the progression of the day was phenomenal! From the start of the first game to the end of the last, it was like watching another team on the field. The girls stayed positive and had fun!
