2013 SOFTBALL ALL-STARS
Attention Spring Softball Participants:
Each year we are pleased to be able to form All-Stars, which is a post-season play of softball teams in sectional, regional and national softball tournaments. The season begins immediately after the spring season ends in May. The All-Star season continues through the last week of July depending on the success of the team.
Please note: This is not a selection letter but rather it is to inform you of eligibility to be nominated for All-Stars.
Who is eligible for an All-Star team?
The All-Star teams are comprised of players from each division in our league (6U, 8U, 10U, 12U). Each team consists of 12 girls from the league. Eligibility is based on the player’s birth year and the Board has final approval of all players selected for the team.
How are players selected for the All-Star teams?
All-Star commitment letters are distributed to the players and parents for review. The commitment letters for players interested in participating are returned to the league commissioner or spring coach no later than Monday, May 13th, 2013.
All players who return a signed commitment letter will be placed on the nomination list. After May 13th ballots are distributed to managers from each team. Each manager will place 10 votes choosing from all of the girls on the nomination list for their respective division.
Every girl in the league is eligible for All-Star voting as long as they have played in at least 50% of the regular season games and meet age classification for that division. The 10 girls who get the most combined votes in their division will be placed on the All-Star team. The remaining 2 players on the roster are selected by the All-Star Manager and must be chosen from the remaining players on the nomination list.
Are there any other requirements to participate in All-Stars?
Each player must pay an All-Star commitment fee of $125. This fee will help offset costs of tournament entry fees, uniforms, insurance requirements, etc. for the All-Star season. This will not cover the entire season, fundraising, donations, sponsorships and parent contributions will be needed. Each player must have their parents sign and the family must agree to an All-Star commitment letter which explains the needs and requirements of players and families during the All-Star season. These include but are not limited to:
