HOW DO WE GET PROOF OF AGE CHECKED?

  1.       When you listed all info on VTD it will say whether your player needs to show proof of age or already did so the previous year.
  2. By your local District Commissioner
  3. By you local Junior Olympic Commissioner
  4. By your local Deputy Commissioner
  5. By your league President or Registrar
  6. Send along with your invoice to NM ASA (B.C. copies will not be returned).

WHAT ABOUT OUR T-BALL/COACH/MACHINE PITCH PLAYERS?     

1.      2008 they must also follow the above to register their team and coaches

Receive the zero deductible insurance for free also.

2.      It is the most cost efficient

3.      It trains the coach in what they will be doing as the players move

Up in age.

4.      IF there is a District or State Tournament these players will have to be registered in

The proper manner.

 

WHAT IF WE PICK UP AN 8 YEAR OLD AFTER STATE?

1.      If she was not individually registered by June 1 of the current year

She is not eligible to participate.

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE OUR ENTIRE BOARD IS COVERED?

1.      ALL TEAMS in your league MUST be ASA registered

2.      ALL  Umpire should be ASA registered (even if they are just parents calling)

3.      League should have Field Liability for the City they play in OR

4.      Ask NM ASA to add them as an additional insured to the teams when

they register.

WHAT DOES THE COACH AND PLAYERS RECEIVE WHEN REGISTERED?

1.      The coach will receive the Official ASA Rule Book, a scorebook, Roster,

And membership card.

2.      Players will receive an individual membership card.  Which once a photo

Is placed on the back plus their signature is their official ID Card.

You do have the option of purchasing at VTD an ID card with photo but

 That is your call, it is an additional amount.

3.      NO more carrying Proof of Age, Proof of Insurance, Proof of ASA registration

It is all there on the Players ID card.

4.      Do remember this CARD is the Players

5.      Once the Championship season is over give these cards to the girls incase they

Decide to participate during the fall with another team. 

WHAT IF?

As a league or team we do not register ASA until the deadline, Can we put an

‘ALL STAR” team together for Championship Play.

THE ANSWER IS NO.

The Official ASA rule books states: Regular season roster.  That is the roster

You play with in league, tournaments.  Once a player has walked on the field

With the team and PARTICIPATED IN A GAME that player is a legal member

Of that team and ONLY that team for Qualifiers or State Tournaments.

NM ASA DOES NOT RECOGINZE SPLIT SEASONS.

NM ASA DOES NOT RECOGINZE WAIVERS RELEASES.

In 2007 we added that a player has until March 30th to change teams.  After that

Date no player may be removed from your ASA roster nor can she participate

In Championship play with another team. The exception to this rule is

The 14U.  Because many of them can not participate with their team because

It is a HIGH SCHOOL TEAM this age group has until Monday following the

“NMAA HIGH SCHOOL STATE TOURNAMENT. “ to sign with the regular

season team.  Don’t understand this then contact your JO Commissioner.

NM ASA feels our program has been re-vamped to make it possible for

All teams from New Mexico to be able to compete with teams through out

The country.

NM ASA BELIEVES a child that has been a part of a team ALL SEASON deserves

The opportunity to participate with that team in Championship Play.

REMEMBER WE ARE HERE FOR THE KIDS….WIN OR LOSE

INSURANCE WAVIER FORMS FOR LEAGUE ROSTER

NM ASA strongly recommends each league use the wavier form

Roster provided by Bollinger’s Insurance. This releases you from being

Held responsible for unforeseen accidents.  It is important to note

That this roster form has saved many a lawsuit in court.

This form can be printed off at www.asasoftball.com click on ASA Insurance

WHAT ABOUT THE FALL SEASON AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY?

1.      Many teams like to regroup or move up and add players

This individual player registration/insurance goes with the

Player.

2.      If you add someone who has not been individually registered you

Must do so.

There are many fall tournaments that teams do this for to prepare for the

Next season.  You can contact NMASA@zianet.com for more info
