Nominations Are Sought For Gatorade's Fastpitch Player Of The Year Program
Nominations Are Sought For Gatorade's Fastpitch Player of the Year Program
High school fastpitch athletes! Be sure to tell your coach about the Gatorade Player of the Year Program.
At the invitation of ESPN RISE Magazine, the ASA will again assist in the nomination process for Gatorade Player of the Year (POY) Program state and national award-winners for softball. The staff at RISE Magazine is seeking input from all local ASA associations regarding the top female fast pitch softball players in their state. RISE Magazine will accept any and all nominations from local-, regional- and state-level ASA members and coaches.
As designated by RISE, the ASA will act as the Sports-Specific Chair for softball on behalf of the Gatorade Player of the Year Program, a title that appears on Gatorade’s Player of the Year web page as well as RISE Magazine’s web page.
RISE is aware that the ASA has no formal association with high school softball on a local or national level. In accordance with POY criteria, RISE will consider for Gatorade Player of the Year honors only those ASA players who are still playing high school softball. Since RISE must provide Gatorade with its final recommendations in 50 states (and the District of Columbia) by 05/29/08, and for a national winner during the week of 06/08/08, ASA nominations must be received by April 10, 2008.
This is a great way to continue to promote the ASA Junior Olympic Program as the top program in the country and increases the likelihood that the Gatorade Player of the Year winners will be ASA players.
Your coach should send all available information regarding nominees to RISE Magazine’s Eric Snyder.
Get your coach involved. RISE is hoping ASA members and coaches to be proactive about nominating talent. Maybe you'll become a nominee!
