Although the demarcation between Division I and Division II teams is imprecise, the purpose is to come closer to creating a level playing field for all competitors. Division I is designed for the most competitive, “select” teams, travel teams and teams composed of players recruited from a widely disbursed and possibly heavily populated area. Division I provides the opportunity to compete against the best teams in the nation. Division II is designed for teams comprised of players from the same school, neighborhood or community and includes recreational all star teams, school only teams and mid-sized community drafted recreational teams. Classification as Division I or Division II requires flexibility, integrity and honesty on the part of each participating team. The Iowa AAU Baseball Committee retains the right to designate the specific division consistent with the caliber of your team. QUALIFYING FOR AN OPEN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP A. In the age 8:U, 9:U, 10:U (60’), 10:U (65’), and 17:U groups, the National Championship will be an open tournament in which any team may enter, subject to item C below. B. In the age 18:U/19:U group, associations conducting a qualifier may enter 4 teams in the National Championship whereas those associations not conducting a qualifier may only enter 2 teams, subject to item C below. C. THIS IS SUBJECT TO MONITORING BY THE NATIONAL BASEBALL COMMITTEE provided the team: 1. conforms with the AAU registration rules for athletes and clubs as outlined in the AAU Code Book and 2. has participated in their District Qualifier, if one is held, 3. is certified jointly by the District Governor and District Baseball Sports Director. D. Teams in the age 8:U, 9:U, 10:U (60’), 10:U (65’), 17: U and 18:U/19:U groups that participated in their respective District Qualifier may add or replace up to five players to a maximum of 20. Teams becoming eligible to advance to a national competition via a District Qualifier must notify the appropriate National Championship of their intent to participate within 72 hours of the completion of the Qualifier. 2 ATHLETE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION AAU Membership Year is September 1 to August 31.

The “AB” card must be purchased when the athlete or coach first registers with the AAU. Athletes/Coaches may not pay the difference in the cards to “up-grade” to an “AB” card at a later date. The “AB” card is available to all youth athletes. All martial art adult athletes must purchase the “AB” card, with the exception of Taekwondo, for which the card is not available under any circumstance. AAU MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS AAU membership is required to participate in the Iowa AAU Baseball Program. To receive all AAU membership benefits, including comprehensive insurance program, the team must be a member club of AAU and all athletes must have a current individual AAU membership. For team sports, all athletes and coaches on the team must have the “AB” card. In team sports, both general liability and athlete accident insurance will be extended to AAU teams participating in supervised and scheduled non-AAU sanctioned competitions and practices. Coverage will not extend to any non-AAU sanctioned competitions hosted or conducted by AAU clubs. (AAU clubs must still obtain proper sanctioning when hosting or conducting competitions.) GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEY As indicated elsewhere in this newsletter, the AAU membership fees apply for the year September 1 through August 31. Accordingly, it makes sense to enter as many events in as many sports as possible when joining AAU. TEAM (CLUB) MEMBERSHIP FEE: The Level 1 Club membership ($30) is all that is required to participate as a team (plus your individual athlete and non athlete memberships). The Level 2 club membership ($60) is required, if your club is hosting a tournament. The Level 3 ($300) Club membership is if you want the benefits of a 501(c)3 club. Team may request proof of insurance to verify the team’s insurance coverage. Third party certificates, when additional insurers are named to the AAU policy, will be available for the “AB” program. For individual sports, AAU members will be covered in non-AAU sanctioned scheduled competitions. Such members may participate without an AAU coach or other club members. Coverage will not be available for unscheduled, unsupervised practice by individual athletes. If individual sport athletes are participating in a team competition format, all members of the team/club must be “AB” members. INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE: Youth fee is $12.00 or $14.00 for the “AB” membership. Coaches fee is $14.00 or $16.00 for the “AB” membership. (See membership options) Although not mandatory, opinion within the general population appears to endorse purchasing the AB card by any athlete who will be involved in team sports at some time during the membership year. Individual INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP PERIOD: The 2006 membership period is September 1, 2005 through August 31, 2006. memberships application forms are in this flyer - there is a separate form for athletes and another form for the coaches (non-athlete). INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP FINANCES: Around 80% of the individual membership fee is passed on to National AAU with 20% remaining in Iowa. As a volunteer organization, Iowa AAU has no paid employees. The Iowa portion of the fee is used entirely to cover the cost of administering Iowa AAU sports programs including postage, phone, copying, printing and promotion of AAU activities. Not only is there no money left for hiring AAU staff, but the Iowa AAU office resides rent free in a private home. AAU MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS The AAU will continue its regular membership program which provides athlete accident insurance and general liability insurance for all AAU sanctioned practices and competitions - as a benefit of membership. All aspects of our current program will be maintained for regular membership. The “Added Benefit” or “AB” membership provides athlete accident and general liability insurance for athletes, coaches, clubs and associations in specified 6 2005 IOWA AAU BASEBALL RESULTS Medal winners were: Age 6 and Under Gold - Waukee Wildcats Silver - Gladiators Bronze - Iowa ZAP Copper - Carlisle Age 7 and Under Gold - Walnut Creek Cobras Silver - Thunder Baseball Bronze - Walnut Creek Royals Copper - Ankeny Sports University Scorpions Age 8 and Under Gold - Ankeny Hawks Silver - Urbandale J-Hawks Bronze - Walnut Creek Rebels Copper - South Des Moines Thunder Age 9 and Under Gold - West Des Moines Mariners Silver - Iowa Summersticks Bronze - Waukee Razorbacks Copper - Urbandale J-Hawks Age 10 and Under (60’) Gold - Iowa Sun Devils Silver - Cedar Rapids Reds Bronze - Des Moines Knights Copper - X-Treme Age 10 and Under (65’) Gold - Iowa Sun Devils Silver - Des Moines Knights Bronze - Quad City Redbirds Copper - Ankeny Longhorns Age 11 and Under (60’) Gold - Johnston Dragons Silver - Central Iowa Gators Bronze - Urbandale J-Hawks Copper - Marshalltown Tiger Cats Age 11 and Under (70’) Gold - West Des Moines Diamondbacks Silver - Those Guys from Oakview Park Bronze - Urbandale J-Hawks Copper - South Des Moines Cobras Age 12 and Under (60’) Gold - Urbandale Knights Silver - Mason City Merchants Bronze - Indianola Indians Copper - Urbandale Sting Age 12 and Under (70’) Gold - Ankeny Hawks Silver - Fort Dodge White Sox Bronze - Iowa Blast Copper - Ottumwa Sluggers Age 13 and Under (80’) Gold - Iowa Predators* Silver - Marshalltown Doubledays Bronze - Central Iowa Heat Copper - West Des Moines Rattlers *Head coach Bob Egr and the team now named the Iowa Predators have won six successive state AAU Championships which may well be a record.
