Medals Program
The GSJUA is proud to have 33 umpires as members of the ASA Medals
program. The ASA Medals program began in 1999 and honors ASA umpires for
their years of service to ASA. There are four levels for this program -
the Blue level for those who have been registered for three years, the
Bronze level for those who have umpired ASA for seven years (or five
years and worked a state/metro tournament), the Silver level for those
who have umpired for fifteen years (or seven years and three national
tournaments) and the Gold level for those who have umpired for 20 years
(or seven years and three national tournaments, two of which must be the
Men’s or Women’s Major Fast Pitch, Men’s or Women’s “A” Fast
Pitch, Girls 18U Gold Fast Pitch, Men’s Masters 40 & Over Fast
Pitch, Men’s Super Slow Pitch, Men’s, Women’s or Men’s
Industrial Major or “A” Slow Pitch, Men’s Major 16” Slow Pitch,
Armed Forces Championship, Men’s or women’s Major Modified, and the
Men's "A" Modified). An umpire may register for multiple
levels.

NATIONAL
INDICATOR FRATERNITY
This reward program has
been available to ASA umpires since 1986. It was originally started as a
program for those umpires who have been assigned and officiated in three
national championships, but did not qualify or gain approval for
International Softball Federation (ISF) certification. Today it is
considered the highest level reward program for ASA Umpires, not
including the ASA Hall of Fame Umpire classification or ISF
certification.
