We are pleased to have teams participate in the FASA program. We are holding more than 15 events in Ohio for 2022! These include may long time events, including the Maple Leaf East, Memorial Classic, Christmas in July, May Mayhem, FASA State Tournament, the Cinderella Classic, Stan Maley Memorial, and more! The FASA State National offers a paid entry fee to the winner of the FASA State Tournament in N. Ridgeville, OH.

· All Ohio FASA events will play by the same rules to avoid confusion for coaches, players, and umpires. As always our events are deisgned to be user frriendly and cost effective. We do not charge gate fees for the tournaments, but some parks do and we have no control over that.
We have opted to take less teams in events rather than overload fields, umpire and create some horrific schedules. Cost have to rise in 2022, between inflation and umpire shortages, we have opted to make the events smaller to reduce the potential of umpire shortages or burn out at our events! We plan on two officials for all 9U and up games and to insure the umpires are fresh. We heard too many instances of tournaments being short of officials or working them too many games in a day, sometimes one umpire.


· We are continuing the odd year bracket championships, in our events, if enough teams enter (minimum of four). "Odd year teams can have one older player, but she cannot pitch in bracket play.

· Simplified roster and coach’s waiver form that can be submitted at the tournament and you do not need to put every player or coach in a data base (You can if you want.)

· FASA Accepts any Insurance, any current background check and concussion certification. You do not have list rosters, register players or pay for another background check!

· FASA provides the TD's a scheduling and communications program which we can use as a part of the tournament.

· FASA hosts a National Event in Branson MO in 2022 and STAY TO PLAY IS NOT MANDATED. Branson has a wide variety of activities and things to do and some of the best costs on housing. This is a large recreation area with cabins and other housing available. In 2020 and 2021, the Wizards (Toledo) attended this event.

· Unlike other FASA doews not expect youo to sanction to just play in one event. We ask you pay a reduced fee you enter more than one event per yearr. FASA works hard to maintain low costs for teams administratively and reasonable prices. The entire process is simple and easy and mandatory on-line roster submissions is NOT required. There are no hidden costs for background checks and ID cards. (Please see instructions below.)

The tournaments are listed in this section of this foum and our Facebook page Ohio FASA events.
Our programs are designed to make life simple for the teams, reduce costs to teams and promote FUN for players and families. Also, check out FASA team insurance, it is the best price available and even when the sanction fee is included, you are paying less than some of the large sanctioning bodies charge. No one should be forced to buy specific insurance, ID cards or other sanctioning body specific insurance from one company. You will be asked if you have a background check or if you need one. If you Check the box, you will NOT be charged for an additional background check if you have one and produce it at the event.
