REMEMBER THE ASAA ON-LINE REGISTRATION DEADLINES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. You have a school code for this process. There is a Checklist of Important Dates on the Zone website which lists these deadlines. They are also in the ASAA Policy Handbook: Athlete Registration. ASAA adheres strictly to deadline dates, even if they fall on a week-end or holiday.

The ASAA TRANSFER FORM needs to be completed if you have student athletes transferring to your school in grades 11 or 12.
