REGISTRATION INFORMATION

 To register a player please click on the "registration" button to the left of the page. If your child has played any sport with ASA they are a "returning player" to the association. If they have never played any sport with ASA they are a "new player" to the association.

Registration fees must be paid by credit card at the time of registration. If you choose to pay by check you must come to the ASA office to register in person. Registration forms for registering in person are available at the "Forms" button to the left of the page.

PLAYING UP - Players may play up ONE (1) year from their date of birth without approval. However, 4U players may not play up in to the 4U league. Players must be born by 4/30/2007 in order to play in the 4U league. No Exceptions! 

PLAYING DOWN - We do not allow any players to play down at any time.

TEAM/PLAYER REQUESTS - We do not make any guarantees on team placement unless your child's name is listed on a team roster submitted by the head coach. If you would like your child to play for a particular team you must contact the head coach to inquire about having your son on the team.

If you would like your child to play with a particular player/friend you may put a request in the "notes" section of the registration. However, there are no player placement guarantees. We will make every effort possible to honor a friend/player request but there are no guarantees.

 TEAM FORMATION

There are two ways teams are formed for the City League Baseball program.

BRING YOUR OWN TEAM

A coach can put together a team of players from his child's school or neighborhood or otherwise. The coach will submit a team roster* to the ASA office so the players will all be guaranteed to be placed on the team. Teams must have a minimum of 10 players to submit a roster. Rosters are due August 11. *Rosters are available at the "forms" button to the left of the page.

DRAFT TEAMS

New or redrafting players who are not aligned with a particular team can register to be placed on a team by draft. Teams will be formed by the league once registration has closed. The league makes every effort to place players in the draft on teams with other players from their school/neighborhood but there are no player placement guarantees for draft teams.

 PRACTICES & GAMES

PRACTICES

Most teams will practice once a week, however, the practice day and time are not known in advance for draft teams. Once teams have been formed the coach will meet with the team to decide on the right practice time for everyone. We do not place players on teams based on a preferred practice time or day. Practices typically begin 1-2 weeks prior to the start of the season.

GAMES

All leagues (4U-Middle School) will play 8 regular season games for the Fall 2010 season. There will not be any pre-season games or a post-season tournament.

Games are typically played on Saturdays through the season. However, due to the number of teams and player registrations for each season games could be played on weeknights as well. Rainouts and make-up games may also be played on weeknights.

FIELDS

Games will be played at the following locations:

Allen Station Baseball Fields - Located at Exchange and Cedar Drive in Allen. There are 5 fields at this location. They are number in a counter-clockwise direction with Field #1 being on your right side when you enter the park.

Twin Creeks/Bolin Baseball Fields - Located at McDermott and Twin Creeks Drive in Allen. There are two fields at this location.

Celebration Park Baseball Fields - Located at Celebration Park (Angel Parkway & Malone) in Allen. These fields are under construction and will not be used for play until approximately Fall 2011.

 UNIFORMS & EQUIPMENT

UNIFORMS

Most coaches will meet with their teams prior to the start of the season to discuss uniforms. Jerseys and caps should not cost more than $50 for any age group.

Additional uniform expenses incurred by parents include but are not limited to: socks, baseball pants, undershirts and cleats.

EQUIPMENT

Team/Head Coach will be provided with a team equipment bag for the season. Most bags included loaner helmets*, bats and other team equipment that will be returned at the end of the season. The head coach must order equipment using the online equipment order form at least 5 days prior to the coach's meeting. The equipment order form link is to the right of the page.

Additional equipment expenses incurred by parents include but are not limited to: batting helmet, baseball glove, batting glove and cleats.

 *A few helmets are provided in the team equipment bag. However, due to health concerns we strongly urge parents to purchase a batting helmet for their child. Helmets can be purchase at any sporting good store or discount retail store at a minimum cost ($10-25).
