YOUTH FOUNDATION

Arizona Amateur Softball Association Youth Foundation (the “Foundation”) will carry out its activities through its officials, directors and volunteers. The initial activities and primary purposes of this Foundation will be, within the meaning of Section 501 c (3), to support education for coaches, umpires, and youth players, including providing grants to establish youth softball programs in municipalities throughout the State of Arizona and awarding player scholarships for youth softball programs in Arizona. The Foundation’s goal is to provide funds to communities, leagues and players to enhance the recreational and competitive opportunities for kids wanting to play softball. Whether a player views softball as a new sport to learn, as a way to have fun with friends, or as a path to a scholarship for higher education, the Foundation wants to instill a love of the game and increase youth participation. The Foundation’s activities will be conducted by its officers, directors and volunteers. 

You NOW may donate to our “Youth Foundation”, and let IRS know of your charity. Our Board of Directors will utilize ALL of the charity to improve our Arizona ASA Youth Program. You may want to assist our volunteer coaches trained and educated, for some umpires working with our youth to be trained and educated more, to improve our youth player scholarship program, for some facilities (state-wide) supporting ASA improved, and for some ASA youth teams to be assisted in traveling to  ASA championship tournaments.

For donating in 2011, please contact our State Commissioner, Mr. Don Fishel, ASAP.

For 2012, Arizona ASA will be providing “Applications” for these activities hereby announced.

REGISTERASA.COM BECOMES “LIVE” DECEMBER 1 FOR 2012

The registerasa.com website will be returning “LIVE” on Thursday, December 1 for the 2012 Season.  You are now able to go in and begin to register your team/league for the 2012 season.  There are many new updates to this system that I believe you will appreciate when registering your team for 2012. 

The popular “Add Team to New Season” button is available to have your entire team information repeated into the 2012 season.  To do this, simply go to your home plate, click on the team you are moving from 2011 to 2012.  Once you get to the team page, click on the Information button to get to the team information.  Change your age classification and deductible amount if necessary. Once your team’s information is up to date, click the “Add Team to New Season” button.  From there you can remove players no longer on your team, add new players that are joining your team, etc. then submit for a new invoice.

Please also be aware that if you are the “LEAGUE ADMINISTRATOR” for your Recreation League, you must have your district J.O. Commissioner approve you annually to create your league.  This helps protect the past year’s participants from anyone who has left your organization from going into the system and having access to your league.  

For 2012, the registration fees have increased due to more parents losing their primary insurance and the cost of medical services increasing.  The new PLAYER fees will be $35 for the $0 deductible with photo id cards and $25 for the $250 deductible with photo id cards for traveling teams.  The Non-Player fees will be charged $30 for the $0 deductible with photo id card and $20 for the $250 deductible with photo id card.  The NON-Players will also be charged $6 for the mandatory background check that is required for all Non-Players by Arizona ASA.  Recreational Leagues will be $12 for players or non players with no photo id. We strongly recommend you select the $0 deductible to give your players better coverage, but want to give our travel teams the option to purchase either one.  To have a $0 deductible for 13 months of competitive play for $35 is still great costs to parents who don’t have primary insurance as well as the possibility of losing their insurance benefits.  As the one who submits injury claims to Bollinger, I can’t express how appreciative parents are when they discover they have a $0 deductible policy and are reimbursed all the out of pocket expenses for physical therapy, etc. when their daughter becomes injured playing softball. 

Finally, regarding the insurance for 2012, the 90/10 co pay to the deductible is still in effect.  Attached is a description of what the 90/10 co pay is all about.

90/10 Coinsurance

If you have any questions regarding the revised version of registerasa.com or have any problems/questions with registering your team or league, please contact your district registrar for assistance.  You can find your district registrar’s contact information by going to the Contacts link of this website.

We look forward to another year of an improved registration system for 2012 and a successful ASA season.

ARIZONA ASA HAS TEAMED UP WITH TOURNAMENTASA.COM

Arizona ASA has teamed up with Tournamentasa.com to provide a new tournament registration site for our Arizona ASA State JO Tournaments.  TournamentMVP is designed for Coaches to find and register their team for ASA tournaments. 

Once you become a member with tournamentasa.com (at no additional cost) you create your team and are ready to enter tournaments on the Arizona ASA Tournamentasa.com website.  This is a tournament registration site only.  You would still register your team on www.registerasa.com for insurance, player cards and rosters for ASA tournaments. 

The website will allow you as a coach to view whose coming, see pool play and elimination brackets updated as games complete and view the location of each tournament site with directions and more.   

With many of the other ASA State Association’s partnering with this website, you will be able to have access to our surrounding state’s tournament pages and see who’s coming to their tournaments as well. 

We are excited to partner with this new website and look forward to providing the best tournament registration site ASA has to offer to our teams.
