All-star Season Information
Players
All-stars teams will be selected from players at 3 levels of
play; AAA, Minors (10U) and Majors (12U).
All kids that played during the regular season are welcome
to try out for the All-star teams. We
ask that parents be very realistic regarding
their child’s ability when considering whether or not to tryout.
Kids will be selected based on the following criteria:
Assessment of their regular season play as conveyed by the
regular season coaching staff.
Their performance during the regular season as noted by the
All-star coach.
Their level of proficiency at a particular position needed
to best man an All-star team.
Their level of performance at the All-star tryout.
The player’s ability to commit to the All-star practice and
game schedule.
Teams will be made up of 11-12 kids based on coaching needs.
Tryouts
Typically tryouts are the first part of June and consist of
one 2-3 hour session.
Tryout will be run by the All-star head coach with the help
of non-parent assessors from different divisions.
Teams will be selected within 48 hours of the tryout.
