RSPA Slo-Pitch Switches to NSA for 2025
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that RSPA League and RSPA tournaments are switching to NSA for 2025.
I have been with SPN from the beginning, even before the beginning, but times change and we must change to move forward.
I am proud to bring RSPA to NSA, to bring NSA to the GTA and even to bring the GTA to NSA.
There should be nothing bad said about either organization.
I admire both associations for what they have done to promote the game of slo-pitch.
We are working on what rules we will adopt, but RSPA rules will be RSPA rules.
With the merge of SPN & SPOA and the new harmonized rules, they are not so different.
I welcome all team reps, players and umpires to join me on this journey.
RSPA Info - What's New
Updated March 22, 2024All information may change as a result of switch to NSA.
We will continue to address the RSPA Code of Conduct.
We are really going to clamp down on incidents, trash talking and umpire abuse.
Player ejection for umpire abuse or any physical altercation will result in an automatic 3 game suspension.
UMPIRES: All umpires make mistakes, even the major league umpires. They do not deserve to be abused, yelled at or threatened.
RSPA League fees 2025: $1900 plus tournament $400 plus banquet deposit $240 required.

Teams are required to pay for one tournament $400 entry fee.

ROSTERS - NEW NSA Roster for RSPA.
Random roster checks on all playoff games.
We warned everbody and still eliminated teams from the playoffs for roster violations.
Even more stringent on rosters completed and roster checks.
