Championship play is defined as any tourney that leads to a berth to Nationals...ie ASA States, ASA Regional, ASA National Qualifiers and ASA Nationals...but usually all of those tourneys are after HS ends...and it only applies if the 16u team submitted the roster. If the 16u hasn't submitted a roster, she can be added to the 14u roster and then released when she's done with them and going to the 16u team..You are allowed to move up during the year, just not down..so if she's already on a 16u ASA Championship roster, she can't get released and go down to 14u...only works going up in age and/or up in class (A vs B)..can't go down.
Okay, this isn't true. There is no such thing as a "release" in ASA. Commitment to a Championship roster is for that competitive year. Doesn't make any difference what the direction may be.
Now, if you have this confused with a "pick-up" player, that is another story.
But all is irrelevant unless championship play is involved.
