All agencies that register their teams ASA are permitted to obtain or are provided Field Owner’s liability insurance policies, through Arizona ASA. Bollinger Insurance provides coverage in the amount of $5,000,000.00.

This insurance is PRIMARY. ASA will defend your agency in the event of any/all bodily injury lawsuits, provided all teams and all umpires involved in the ASA sanctioned activity are also registered ASA, and teams participating utilize ASA identified “hold & harmless” team rosters.

Arizona ASA would love to discuss registration and ASA sanctioning with agencies in our State, not currently part of the Arizona ASA team. Please contact Arizona ASA State Commissioner Don Fishel at (928) 777-1553 or azasacommish@cableone.net

WOMENS FASTPITCH SOFTBALL LEAGUE

We are receiving some interest from several ladies in the Maricopa County interested in forming a Women's Fastpitch Softball League. At this time, we are compiling a database of those interested. Once we get a minimum of 24 ladies in the database, we will set up an organizational meeting in the spring to meet with those interested in forming a Summer Program in Phoenix.

If their is sufficient interest prior to May 1st, arrangements will be made to find facilities in Maricopa County to coordinate a league this summer and/or fall.

Ladies, 16 years of age & older, who would like to individually register should e-mail Rick Hormann, League Development Director, at rick.hormann@cityofprescott.net


ALTERED BATS

Arizona ASA takes a strong stance against individuals utilizing altered bats! All League Directors as well as Tournament Directors must institute the following, to help protect player safety as well as the integrity of the
game;

A) Any Player discovered using an ALTERED bat, including a DOCTORED bat, a bat with ADDITIONAL weight, or a "SHAVED" bat shall be suspended from further involvement in the Arizona ASA program for a minimum of 2 years!

B) The OWNER of the ALTERED, DOCTORED, WEIGHT EXCESSIVE, or SHAVED batwill be suspended as well for a minimum of 2 years!

C) Individuals discovered ALTERING, DOCTORING, or SHAVING bats will be suspended for a minimum of 2 years!

2008 JO TEAM & INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Arizona ASA encourages all Junior Olympic Girl's fast-pitch teams to register ASA. All team managers should guarantee their players are provided individual accident insurance. Arizona ASA strongly supports the ASA National Insurance Agency, Bollinger . Consult with an Arizona ASA JO Commissioner to explore options available. Traveling teams in both Class A & B will benefit by purchasing Individual Player Accident Coverage. Teams may elect to purchase one of two "deductibles" offered. Arizona ASA recommends the "Zero" deductible plan.

Recreational Teams can either purchase Individual Player Insurance or Team Insurance. Recreational teams not purchasing individual insurance can contact Bollinger on-line, with State Commissioner approval. Team Accident rates will be made available. All teams must be registered ASA in order to purchase ASA Bollinger Insurance. Team registration is $25.00. Unless approved by the State Commissioner, ASA registered teams must be a member of an ASA League, comprised of 4 or more teams.

When teams obtain Bollinger Insurance, their team is still covered against bodily injury, even when they compete in non-ASA sanctioned tournaments. Only ASA provides this insurance.

For only $22.00 per calendar year, each ASA team member, covered by the Individual Registration, Zero deductible Bollinger plan, will be adequately protected in the event of injury, and they will receive Player ID Cards. When competing in Arizona ASA sanctioned Invitational, State, Regional, National Qualifying, and National Championship Play, teams must provide Tournament Directors with proof of player eligibility. Individual Player ID's guarantee "Fair Play".

When comparing "Apples and Apples", ASA Bollinger Insurance is simply Undefeated!!
