A unique feature of the RASA website involves the ability to view your daughter’s RASA team schedule and your son’s QYBA team schedule on one page and in one combined schedule.To do this:
Go to your team page by clicking the “RASA Teams” tab and selecting the appropriate season, division and team
Click the “Multi-Schedule” link on the left side
From this page, select the following:
Select the format you would like to view the combined schedule in by making the appropriate selection under “Schedule Type”
Place a check mark next to your daughter's team
In the “Other Area Clubs” section, click on the large plus sign to the left of Quakertown Youth Baseball Association, and then place a check mark next to your son’s team
Click the “Submit” button at the bottom and the combined schedule for both teams will be shown
The Multi-Schedule page allows you many different options, including viewing different combinations of RASA team schedules, as well as viewing and combining other local outside organization’s schedules other than QYBA (note: these organizations must also use the same web hosting company in order to be listed).
RASA will make every effort to keep fields open for all games as scheduled. However, there will be times when bad weather (or other events) requires that we close the fields. The following is the procedure that RASA will follow in 2009:
A decision will be made by regarding that night’s games as early as possible (hopefully by 3pm)
During the season, the RASA Home Page has a box in the upper right hand corner titled "Field Status" containing a list of all Vet Park fields and their status - the default will always be OPEN (and the last date that field was opened)
In the event of game cancellation, the status of affected field(s) will be updated to CLOSED (see below)– anyone who has a game scheduled on a field marked as CLOSED will then receive an automated game cancellation email
All cancelled games will be rescheduled through the division coordinators and then posted to the website
Please be aware that there may be times when it is not possible to update the Field Status and cancel games early enough to save you a trip to the fields. We will do our best to make an early decision and have the site updated as quickly as possible.
A recomendation - for those with text message capabilities on their cell phone, you can set up your RASA account to optionally receive important news items, game cancellations and schedule change notification via text message to your cell phone.
To do this:
Click the "Edit My Account" link at the bottom left of the RASA Home Page
Enter your email address and password (if you don't know or have a password, just enter your email address and a temporary password will be immediately emailed to you).
Once you have logged in, click the name of the person who's information you would like to update
To the right of the cell phone field is a field named "Provider", with a drop-down menu of many carriers
Select your carrier, confirm your selection on the pop-up window by selecting "OK" - you are now set up to receive text messages from RASA.
If you ever want to stop receiving text messages from RASA, log back in and remove the provider from the drop-down menu.
I thought I would resend this message as I have gotten numerous email requests to updated contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers - the new website allows you to do this yourself. It may not be a bad idea just to log in and review the information that is available, as there are several options you may not know about, such as text message functionality to your cell phone (how nice would that be when a game is canceled?).
To check or update your information, simply:
Go to the "Edit My Account" link (on the bottom left side of the Home Page)
Enter your email address and password and click "Submit"
If you forgot your password or never had one due to registering in person, simply enter just the email address you provided when you registered and click "Submit" - the system will send you your password via email.
Click on the name of the person whose contact information you want to update and review/update any information
If you have any questions, email me at

Thanks,

Our partnership with Little League requires that all volunteers have a background check completed through their organization, no matter what capacity they are serving. This includes all coaches, team parents, board members and anyone volunteering their time with RASA. Every RASA volunteer must have a background check performed every 2 years.
