All ladies wishing to participate in a Women’s Fast-Pitch Softball League are asked to immediately contact either Lisa Frank or Mike Krueger at Victory Lane. Their office number is (623) 581-6000. They may be contacted through e-mail at softball@playvictorylane.com

2009 JO INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION

For 2009, all ASA JO Travel Team Players must be registered individually, using the “ZERO” deductible ASA accident insurance policy. For only $25.00, players are adequately protected for the entire 2009 Calendar Year.

Recreational Leagues are strongly encouraged to register their players individually, choosing either the Zero deductible without photo ID’s ($12.00), or the $250.00 deductible without photo ID’s  ($9.00).

Recreational Leagues choosing to register as a Team, rather than individually, may still do so, but your overall team cost will be greater than if registering individually. Team Registration is $25.00. Once registered, and with State Commissioner Approval Only, team managers will then need to contact Bollinger Insurance to purchase Team Accident  Insurance. In order to be considered an Arizona ASA Rec League, there must be 4 or more teams registered.  

All JO Teams competing in ASA sanctioned tournaments must be able to provide the Tournament Director with proof of Individual/Team Accident Insurance Coverage, at time of official team entry. 

When ASA teams are properly registered, their rostered players are covered against bodily injury, even when they compete in Non-ASA softball tournaments. Only ASA provides this accommodation.

When comparing “Apples & Apples”, ASA Insurance through Bollinger is simply Unbeatable!

Please contact the JO Commissioner in your District for personal assistance in registering your players Individually!!


2009 JO PROGRAM – ACE CERTIFICATION FOR VOLUNTEER COACHES

Arizona ASA strongly encourages all JO Teams to make sure all their coaches become ACE Certified. Effective January 1, 2009, all JO Teams participating in Championship Play must have at least one coach ACE Certified, who is representing the team in the team dugout during Championship Play. In the future, ASA will require ALL coaches to be ACE Certified.

For 2009, Coaches Registration and Background Checks are optional for Recreational League Play. Cost for registration/background checks is an additional $5.00, if registering Individually through Register ASA. Leagues performing registration/background checks for their Coaches will be provided a $5 Million Dollar Liability Policy from Bollinger Insurance, for their League Officers, at no additional cost .

Please consult your JO Commissioner on how to make sure your team or league becomes active in the ACE Certification Program!
