 The Amateur Softball Association is the National Governing Body of Softball. With the "tag" comes the responsibility of being the best in our business. The ASA strives to stay on top of all aspects of our great game. This year the ASA will be celebrating its 75 Anniversary. Founded in 1933, the ASA has become one of the nation's largest sports organizations and now sanctions competition in every state through a network of 83 local associations. The ASA has over 230,000 teams today, representing a membership of more than four million. Several items to commemorate the anniversary are on sale at www.softballoutlet.com. The ASA announced that their The ACE (Achieve, Certify, Educate) Coaching Certification Program is now available to coaches nationwide in a new web based format. It is a certification program, developed and designed to provide softball coaches of all levels an opportunity to certify as a coach with the ASA. http://ace.usasoftball.com All background check results should be evaluated case-by-case. An ASA committee has evaluated background check issues and advised the ASA’s Board of Directors’ of the committee’s conclusions. A policy was adapted that states, any person that has been known to be convicted of any of the offenses described warrants exclusion from any ASA youth program activities. This would include any participation as a coach, manager, official, umpire or participation in any other capacity with respect to J.O. league or other youth program activities. The described offenses are listed on www.newyorkasa.org. New York State ASA has been able to maintain the same fine service to our members as in previous years while the registration fees to all teams remained unchanged. This is due to the outstanding work of the District, Deputy and Junior Olympic Commissioners. Softball at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing will be held over a ten day period starting August 12 and culminating with the finals on August 21. Games on NBC. Best of luck in 2008, Bob Farrell, Commissioner New York State ASA  To register your team with New York State ASA please contact the commissioner nearest you.
