Thanks Tony

Thanks for the support.
I spoke to Aubrey Clayton today and he was a little disappointed in the entries so far.
I have heard for years from different teams around the state that they wish ASA would get some quality tournaments. Well here is one of those tournaments! The Town of Cary is planning just that! A top notch tournament with a great format , 4GG( 2 Pool and Double Elimination) for all ages. I would love to see 100 teams entered. Maybe it will happen in the future. In the mean time, I need some 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s to step up. The 18U groups know the role ASA plays in the world of fastpitch on the national level. I would love to see us have a team representing NC in each of the Nationals age groups this year.

 

For some reason, it seems to be difficult to get teams for ASA. We were going to play ASA in Charlotte this coming weekend (May 6 / 7), but my understanding is that we were the only team signed up, so we withdrew and are playing NSA in Charlotte instead.

The ASA state is on our schedule. Guess it depends on how many more teams sign up.

 

there it is gang.........erms, ladiesbbfan, brady(Joe), storm30 and so many others here on TBR Softball!!! seriously consider this one above any others available. Call or Email Rick........this is where your daughters will or should be when they're 18u and Ready for college ball!!

 

ASA State

Okay all you travel ball coaches,for yrs everyone has complained about lack of ASA in our state with our past directors.NOW, you have a director who will work his butt off to make ASA stong in NC as it should be.NC fastpitch has come a long way in a short period of time & we need ASA to be recognized on a national level.We all say " it's for the girls".Well here's a great opportunity to help the girls by more teams signing up for this state tour.The more participation in these tours, the more national berths will start being awarded.So lets help out our new director, & sign up for what might be the best "state" you've ever played in .From what I have observed so far in ASA, is the officiating is much better, but you'll still have those few bad apples.

 

1 more thing,ALL the teams playing in the Pride Showcase, should be signing up for this state!

 

ASA

Glad to see ASA trying to make a statement in N.C. If you have a director willing to work hard, teams should at least give it a shot. If you ever attend a quality ASA tournament, you'll see the others pale in comparision.

South Carolina was pretty much dead with ASA until we decided to try to make a change last year. We struggled a little at the beginning last year but after teams played with us they all came back & brought other teams with them. Last year our State tournament had 12 total teams I believe. This year we have 30+ already signed up. If ASA wasn't up to par, I don't think the numbers would have grown like that.

Good job to the current N.C. ASA directors for trying to make a difference in N.C. softball.

 

ASA STATES

Well said there is no excuse for any team in the state not be entered into this.If they want to challege their teams,this will be a place to start.Two of the top finishers in the 18U nationals are in it already.Remember the ASA doesn't just allow anyone to be in the National Tournaments you really have to earn a spot,not like NSA and others.Everyone wants to talk about playing competetion so this is a starting point. Rick and others are working really hard to make this happen but they need the support of the travel teams.ASA is the place to play.
