ASA Umpire Medals Program

Umpires can be rewarded for registering and officiating ASA softball without being assigned to regional or national championships. This rewards the local umpire who supports the ASA program, and can be relied upon for local assignments.

There are four levels for this program - the Blue level for those who have been registered for three (3) years, the Bronze level for those registered for seven (7) years, the Silver level for those registered for fifteen (15) years and the Gold level for those registered for twenty (20) years. Umpires can reach these levels quicker if they have umpired in regional or national championships, or attended National Umpire Schools.

The program was instigated in 1999 and currently there are 2700 umpires registered in the program at various levels. The cost is $20 for each level, and the umpire receives a cap, certificate and pin symbolic of the level achieved. An umpire could register for all four levels if he/she desires and receive caps, certificates and pins for each level paid. In addition, there are various leisure wear items, jewelry items and trophies for each level if the umpire or association desires to purchase these.

The Medals program is a very popular program for the ASA umpire, with the caps and shirts being seen all across the U.S. ASA umpires take pride in their program and as more umpires are becoming aware of this newest reward program, more registrations are received. When submitting the application, state/metro commissioners must approve, indicating the umpire is in good standing. Names are printed annually in the ASA Case Book. Applications are available from the National Office.
