Important RAMP Account Information:
It is very important that all members use their Primary RAMP account when registering for programs. Multiple RAMP accounts created under different email addresses can cause registration, roster, communication, and payment issues.
If you currently have more than one RAMP account associated with different email addresses, we ask that you contact RAMP Support directly to have the accounts merged and maintain one primary email/account moving forward.
Please ensure that the Primary Player Email listed on your RAMP account is the email address where you wish to receive all CMH communications, registration updates, schedules, and important notices. Keeping your account information current helps ensure you do not miss important information throughout the season.
