As we are about to embark on another season of softball in our wonderful area, we are once again proud to announce the 2013 J.O. meeting for all “A” and “Gold” teams. At this meeting we will inform you of the ACE certification and background check requirements for all team personnel that will be on the field during games and practices. We will also address fees associated with ASA registration as well as the ACE program.

Something we did last year and was very successful in attracting more attention to this important meeting, The GSJSA will again be hosting and playing “FRIENDLY GAMES” for teams in our association area to participate in following the general meeting. The games are free of cost, however will be limited to the first 12 to 16 teams entered. Your team will be able to play 2 possibly 3 games based on attendance.

There will be a lot of information provided at this meeting, so it is imperative that all teams within our Greater San Joaquin Softball Association area attend to receive this information.

The GSJSA board members are looking forward to seeing you on January 12, 2013. Should weather become an issue this meeting will be moved to January 19, 2013. Updates will be available on the GSJM web site.

If your team wishes to participate in the “FRIENDLY GAMES” you MUST notify Bart Magellan by email before January 7, 2013. We will NOT be able to accept teams after that date.

If you have any questions, please contact Bart Magellan at: bartman@gsjm.com

My info might be incorrect as I have not seen anything posted yet BUT.... Didn't Roy Taylor with Grapettes become the Northern Cal Director for PGF??? If so do teams 12u and up still plan on playing GSJ ASA? Grapes schedule is not out yet but if this is true I would assume most of their events if not all will be Regional PGF Qualifiers. From talking with a few coaches in Sac I get the feeling teams would rather play the PGF Regional events then the local ASA if they conflict. If my thoughts or this info is not correct please let me know. I am assuming Bart is still planning on hosting his BRAT Sports tourneys

Roy is one of the Directors for the Greater San Joaquin Softball Association (ASA).

Grapes schedule is not out yet but if this is true I would assume most of their events if not all will be Regional PGF Qualifiers.

Grapette Tournaments are ASA sanctioned events.

From talking with a few coaches in Sac I get the feeling teams would rather play the PGF Regional events then the local ASA if they conflict.

The teams in our area have and will have many options to choose from (ASA, NSA, IFA, USSSA, something with A). TOO TOO MANY!!

If my thoughts or this info is not correct please let me know. I am assuming Bart is still planning on hosting his BRAT Sports tourneys.

SBJ your thoughts always have good intentions, however our beloved Bart is currently our full-time Greater San Joaquin Softball Association JO Commissioner Only.

Ok so is all of the talk about Roy being a regional director or what ever they call it for PGF BS??

After hearing the rumors I just assumed that was why we had not yet seen a 2013 Grapes schedule. I am sure you can see where the assumption came from. No Regional PGF Schedule, No Grapes Schedule, Rumor that Roy is heading up PGF in Nor Cal... I am confused

That's not a regional qualifier that is a PGF Nationals qualifier. It's the same one they had last year and the year before.
