Thanks, Charli. We see questions on a number of different sanctioning bodies and it is important that we know which set of rules we're dealing with.
Sam is right about the three times past the hip. For ASA, that will be covered by Rule 6, Section 3 - the legal delivery. ASA does not make mention of the number of times past the hip. They do so that the pitcher may not make two complete revolutions.
I am going to assume that you're dealing with an age group that is younger than the 14&U group. Since you have an ASA rule book, check the Point of Emphasis section that immediately follows the rules - my book is in the van or I would tell you what page. In this section there are six features of the pitching rule for fastpitch and I think that you will see the pitching rule simplified a bit.
