Potter/Tioga Association History
Un-officially formed 3-06
Officially formed 5-06 under the Amateur Softball Association of Pennsylvania
At that time we registered are league as the Potter/Tioga Softball Association with the state of PA and the ASA.
PA is divided into 16 Districts with each district having it own District Commissioner & Staff.
The Potter/Tioga Association fell under District 4, our Commissioner is David Persing who is from Sunbury PA.
ASA founded in 1933 is the National Governing body of softball in the United States and a member of the United States Olympic Committee. Today the ASA has over 240,000 teams and represents over 3 million members.
In PA alone there is over 180 colleges/university’s that are ASA registered.
In 2006 when officially formed and recognized by PA Gregg Brown was voted by members present and then appointed by Dave Persing as our Northern Tier Deputy Commissioner at that time.
Shawn Ianson was voted as the Potter/Tioga President and Kristie Bowen was voted as Secretary.
The league was comprised of Sabinsville, Galeton, Gold, Knoxville and Harrison Valley.
In 2007 Elkland decided to join our league.
Depending on the amount of kids and ages that come out each year it gives us the flexibility to design the league. In 2006 the Potter/Tioga association only had 12&U and 16&U age groups, as in 2009 we now have 8&U, 10&U, 12&U and 16&U teams in the league
In 2006 the Potter/Tioga Association had ~120 girls playing in it. While in 2008 the Potter/Tioga Association had ~205 girls playing in it.
Some other towns also come in and play in inner-league games are Lawrenceville, Addison, EVPP, Elmira and Corning.
Some other towns have also showed great interest in what we are doing and considering either joining or inner-leaguing with us for games.
So we schedule league games and give out contact information to each town/association presidents and they can pick up as many games as they choose from this point.
In the first year we then started all-star teams. We have traveled to Williamsport, Wellsville, EVPP and Corning. In the future we hope to travel to these towns in addition to Bath, Olean, Sunbury, Horseheads and others.
Most likely everyone would agree that the biggest tournament in our local area would be the Corning Cinderella World Series.
"I can remember last year our first year as Potter/Tioga we got who are you? Where are you from?" I even heard this is going to be an easy win for us. So our first year in we did pretty fair. 10&U finish 6th, 12&U finished 6th and 14 finished 2nd.
This year we heard things a little bit different. Everyone I talked to commented on how well behaved the girls from Potter/Tioga were. I also heard why did we get Potter/Tioga?
Even tournament directors asked me “do you have any teams that aren’t that good?”
For 2008 10&U finished 5th, 12&U finished 3rd, 14&U finished 1st, 16&U finish 6th, and 19&U finished 6th.
