Players and Officials
For all age grades, only teams from affiliated SA associations are permitted to enter. The team will represent the association not a specific club. ASA clubs are able to enter their own teams.

Individual Players
Players must be registered with the association/ASA Club they play for during the championship. 

From Junior State Championship Handbook 2025:

2. PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Players may only play for the Association/ASA Club that holds their primary registration. Permits may only be considered if the Club/Association where the player holds their primary registration is not submitting a team at the appropriate grade for that player to participate in.

Game Times
TO BE ADVISED AS PER DRAW

Umpires
A plate and base umpire will be provided in all games (from the pool of umpires provided by each team).
Each team must supply an official umpire. This must be provided no later than 7 FEBRUARY. The team and the team umpire can work out their own arrangements for payment. A team umpire will be allotted games by the tournament chief umpire.

Each association will need to submit an Umpire Nomination Form (available separately).

Balls
2 balls per game will be supplied per match by Softball SA.

Rules
Rules will be as per the revised 2025 Junior State Championship rules - edited by CDSA to accommodate local (some minor edits may still occur)

Entry Cost
$300 (including GST) per team - teams to be invoiced by Softball SA.

If your association chooses to pass this fee on to the registered players, and if the team has the maximum number of 14 players per team, this costs each player just over $20. This amount is less if officials contribute to the registration fee.

The registration fee covers the following, plus other, items:
- Match balls
- Trophies
- Administration (eg paperwork, printing, scorecards, etc)

Tech Meeting
Saturday 22 February, 7.30am - To be confirmed. All team managers & coaches to attend.
