https://www.johnsoncityasa.com/2020rulechanges

NEW SANCTION YEAR STARTS 9/1/20

THE NEW SANCTION YEAR begins 9/1/20! All teams must re-sanction as of this date (sanction is good 9/1 through 8/31).
The playing season runs Jan through Dec. We encourage teams to move up in the fall, but it is NOT required.
Playing age is determined by how old the player was on 12/31 from the previous year. Example, if your player was 12 on 12/31/20, she can still play 12U through the end of December. If your player was 13 on 12/31/20, she must play 14U.
Team Name Changes During the Year - If your team sanctions under one name, then changes names during the year..you will need to re-sanction under the new team name.

**Exception: If you are playing in a fall National Qualifier you MUST play in the age group you will be in 2021.
