Liberty Mutuals Responsible Sports Program
The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) has partnered with Liberty Mutual Insurance to bring the youth softball community Responsible SportsTM, a program dedicated to championing and celebrating responsibility in youth sports. We believe that some of the most influential individuals in young people's lives are parents and youth sports coaches. Responsible Sports provides valuable resources and expert advice to youth sport parents. Visit ResponsibleSports.com to find out how to further improve upon their commitment to being a positive role model in the lives of youth athletes.
The youth softball community, including coaches, parents, administrators and volunteers, is encouraged to visit ResponsibleSports.com, where they will find parenting resources, helpful tips, expert advice and community spaces to share ideas and opinions. Parents can participate in the Responsible Parenting coursework to become recognized as a Responsible Sports All-Star.
