Dear Parent/Guardian: Legislation in recent years has increased the amount of information available to the public concerning registered sex offenders. The national registry for sex offenders can be found at www.nsopr.gov. Most states’ attorneys general also maintain state sex offender lists. These resources often allow an individual to review sex offender information by county, zip code, city, and other search criteria. Your child's softball league does not publish or disseminate information available from these sites. While the softball league's coaches and volunteers may or may not undergo a background screening based upon background information they provide, fellow parents and other persons associated with your child's teammates are not screened by the softball league. The purpose of these Megan's Law registries is for individuals to check the lists regularly, and take whatever precautions the individuals feel necessary for their personal protection and the protection of their children and/or family members. You are encouraged to consult available resources. Please also be advised that certain states’ laws prohibit the dissemination of information from these lists except for the specific purpose of protecting a person at risk. For instance, the State of California limits how and/or for what purpose such information may be disseminated. More information can be obtained on that issue at www.meganslaw.ca.gov under "Frequently Asked Questions". Certain states also prohibit the use of the information available on a sex offender list for purposes of committing a crime against or engaging in illegal discrimination or harassment against any person or any person's family member. Furthermore, extreme care must be taken in the use of any such information because mistaken identification may occur when relying solely upon name, age and/or address to identify individuals. Again, our softball league encourages you to take all reasonable steps in the protection of your children, including the use of the national registry at www.nsopr.gov.and/or any available state or local resources. Sincerely, NC ASA *****************************

***ATTENTION*** ****The 2012 RegisterASA website is now live. Registrations can now be processed**** _________________________
ASA National has also made it mandatory that one coach of any team that wishes to continue on to “championship” play, must be ACE Certified. The certification is available online at www.asasoftball.com. _________________________
NC ASA has made a requirement that a team must play in at least one ASA event in North Carolina, as a qualifier, to secure a spot in the NC ASA "A" State tournament. You must also compete in the NC ASA State to qualify for entry in any of the ASA Regional National tournaments. Remember that picture IDs are required for the National tournaments. ____________________
NC ASA will keep the cost for individual registration at $10.00 for non-picture ID cards for “B” teams and $17.00 for the picture ID cards for “A” teams. All teams playing “championship” play must sanction as an “A” team with the picture ID cards. Remember this carries insurance along with the registration. This is a great way to save a little money for teams who only wish to play local tournaments only and sanction as “B”. Example: A team with 12 kids and a coach, can cover their team with insurance including the sanction fee for around $130.00.
As always, I have an open door policy. If you would like to speak to me about any of the changes please feel free to call me at 336-416-6056. Sincerely, Rick McHone NC ASA JO Commissioner
***NEWS*** NC ASA will now have Sunday Worship Services at each of it's tournaments throughout the summer travel ball season. Please invite all your players, parents, and coaches to attend.Details will be available from your tournament director.
