PLAYER ADD OR RELEASE Players in the Jr. Olympic program can be added to or released from the roster until July 1st. To add a player, a Player Agreement Form must be sent to the Age Group Commissioner. To release a player, the manager must sign the release section of the Player Agreement Form and mail it to their Age Group Commissioner before the roster change deadline.  If you decide you must drop a player for any reason after she has signed the Player Agreement, you must first fill out the Player Drop/Release Form and fax or email it to your Age Group Commissioner. TRAVEL PERMITS Travel permits are no longer required. CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT ROSTER The roster must be mailed to the Age Group Commissioner. Before the Commissioner or his designated representative signs a Championship Roster, the Jr. Olympic team's Player Agreement Forms must be on file with the Age Group Commissioner. Rosters are frozen once the team competes in Championship Play.  RETURNING TEAMS To be an eligible returning team you must meet the returning team requirements as listed in the ASA National Code.  Send the Official Tournament Entry Request Form and completed roster to your Age Group Commissioner for verification and Commissioner's signature.  PICK-UP PLAYERS A player is a pick-up player if she did not participate with that team during the season. Pick-up players may be selected from teams no longer eligible for Championship Play. Note: Pick-up players are not allowed in National Qualifiers. A maximum of three (3) players may be added as follows:  Pick-up players must sign an official Pick-up Player Form signed by the team manager and the Commissioner, Deputy State Commissioner, Junior Olympic Commissioner or Age Group Commissioner.  If the player is under 18 years old their parent or legal guardian must also sign. Pick-up players must have played on a Southern California ASA registered team during the current season. Exception: Jr. Olympic 'Gold' pick-up players may come from ASA registered teams within the region that are no longer eligible for Championship Play.  Additions may be made from the same or lower classification at any level of Championship Play, as long as the player's original team is no longer eligible or did not enter Championship tournaments.  Jr. Olympic players no longer eligible for Jr. Olympic Championship play are eligible to be pick-up players for Adult Major or 'A' teams. Adult and Jr. Olympic players whose teams have qualified for a National Tournament are NOT eligible as pick-up players.  A pick-up player who participated in a tournament with a team that is no longer eligible, cannot be a pick-up player for another team that is still eligible in the same tournament or any other championship play.  A pick-up player may not be substituted for after participation.  A player that quits a team still in championship play will not be an eligible pick-up player on any other ASA team during the current season.  Team personnel shall not recruit or entice players and/or parents that have signed an ASA Player Agreement Form to change teams. This includes any player currently playing on a team in ASA Jr. Olympic Recreation League Championship play. This policy is in effect until July 15th or a team is no longer eligible for Championship play, whichever last occurs.
