Official Credential Guidelines

Media Credential Policy

It is the policy of All-Star Youth Sports Association, in its sole judgment, to reserve media credentials for working print and online journalists, broadcast journalists, and sports analysts with commercial news organizations and recognized publications.

Media credentials are issued for the purpose of legitimate news coverage of eligible ASYSA events. A credential request is subject to review and approval by ASYSA.

Credential Request Deadline

All requests for media credentials must be received by ASYSA not less than ten (10) days before the event for which credentials are being requested.

Requests received less than 10 days in advance will not be considered.

Who Is Eligible

Media credentials are reserved for working print and online journalists, broadcast journalists, and sports analysts representing commercial news organizations and recognized publications.

Credentials are intended for individuals whose principal purpose is covering the event as working news media.

Who Is Not Eligible

Marketing, public relations, advertising, sales, art directors, managers, publishers, and other non-editorial professionals of media organizations are not eligible for media credentials.

Individuals attending primarily for purposes other than working news coverage will not be granted media credentials.

Previous Credentials Do Not Guarantee Approval

A history of receiving credentials or being registered for previous ASYSA events does not guarantee approval for a future event and does not waive any current credential requirements.

Only credentials issued or approved by ASYSA for the applicable event are valid for entry. Other media credentials do not automatically provide access to ASYSA-controlled areas.

Approval Is Not Guaranteed

Submitting a credential request does not guarantee that media credentials will be issued.

ASYSA reserves the right, in its sole judgment, to approve or deny credential requests based on the purpose of the request, event requirements, available space, safety considerations, and whether the applicant is acting as working news media.

Multiple Reporters or Staff Members

Media organizations requesting credentials for multiple reporters, photographers, videographers, or other staff members must provide separate information for each individual.

ASYSA reserves the right, in its sole judgment, to limit the number of approved requests from any media organization.

Important

A credential request is a request for consideration—not a guarantee of admission or access.

Event Access

Press Box, Field & Sideline Access

Press box, field, and sideline areas are reserved for authorized working media whose assignment requires access to those areas.

If you are not working as a sideline reporter, photographer, or film crew member, you will not be granted sideline or field access.

Credential approval does not automatically guarantee access to every restricted area. Event-specific access instructions must be followed at all times.

Photography & Video

Use of ASYSA Event Images & Video

Photos and video from ASYSA events are not for resale without the express written consent of All-Star Youth Sports Association.

Media representatives must comply with event-specific photography, filming, field-access, sideline, and safety requirements.
