Sportsmanship and Participation • The ASA Football Program regards bad sportsmanship as unnecessary and completely intolerable. • Sportsmanship is everyone's business. • Coaches are responsible for their teams (coaches, parents and players) behavior. • Good sportsmanship is a priority in the development of ASA athletes. • No player may play in ASA recreational football and in any other organized 11 on 11 tackle football league during the same season. • MINIMUM PLAYING RULE - Except for injuries, all players must start on either Offense or Defense and may only sit out 1 play per half.
Prohibition Against
Playing on 2 Teams
No player may play on any team in the Combined League if he/she
plays in any other organized fall football tackle league. THERE ARE
NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
If a player participates in a Combined League game and is found to
also play on a team in a different organized fall football league, the
team for which the player played will forfeit each game in which
that player participated and the player will be removed from the
league. Coaches that knowingly use a player that plays on multiple
teams will be subject to disciplinary measures in accordance with
the rules and by-laws of the member organization through which
the team is registered.

Team Formation
Rules
Prohibition Against Recruitment of Players from Returning Teams
• Coaches may not actively recruit any player from any returning
team regardless of that team’s status or expected status for the
upcoming season. If a player played on an ASA or PSA team in
the prior year, all Coaches should consider such player a
returning player to such team and may not actively recruit such
player unless or until the applicable Division Coordinator
confirms otherwise.
• Any Coach is found to be actively recruiting players from a
returning team, will be subject to disciplinary proceedings in
accordance with the applicable member organization’s rules and
by-laws.
Returning Players Guarantee
• Subject to the process and limitations stated in the ASA Official
Policies, any player wishing to return to his team from the
previous season will be guaranteed a spot on that team’s roster
for the upcoming season.

Team Formation
Rules (continued)
Player Transfers
• Any player who played for an ASA or PSA team in the previous
season has the option to request placement on a different team
for the upcoming season. Players requesting a transfer will be
considered as an “individual registration player” and a new team
assignment determined based upon the rules and by-laws of the
member organization through which the player is registered.
• In order to protect the overall competitiveness of the league,
requests to transfer to a specific team cannot be guaranteed. A
transferring player’s new team assignment will be dictated by
the applicable rules and by-laws of the member organization
through which the player is registered.

7/12/2021Shuttle Players
Shuttle Position Rule: A starting position designated as a shuttle
player may be used.
• On offense and/or defense two players may fulfill their minimum
playing time as shuttle players. They must play that position for
the duration of the contest.
• The Shuttle position is a shared position and players designated
as shuttle players will rotate every other play during the game
while their assigned unit is on the field.
