Team Formation
Two teams will be formed from each league based on team rankings at the end of the regular season. For leagues with split divisions, balanced teams will be formed from all the divisional teams based on final regular season team rankings. Teams for the Inter-city leagues (12U/14U) will consist of players from all league teams. The following tables list the team formation by the league and how many players will be selected by each team**.
Player Selections
The player selection process is up to the head coach. As a coach, you know the character of your team and the players, the personalities, the commitment, the effort, and the skill. Being an All-Star encompasses many different things and that is why selecting All-Stars from your team can be very difficult. It is also a great responsibility. While it is at the discretion of the head coach to select their representatives for the All-Star game, the following selection methods are provided as examples:
- Consider feedback from others such as assistant coaches, team managers, parents, and teammates.
- Let your players vote.
- Take a vote among players, parents, and coaches to determine representatives.
However you decide to select your representatives, we encourage you to emphasize the importance of not only skill but also the other factors that make an All-Star.
Game Format
The head coach from each team will submit their All-Star Selections online (see link below). The deadline for submissions is November 1st. In addition to the number of players per team indicated in the table above, teams should also select an alternate to play in the event one of their teams' designees cannot make the game.
All-Star Coaches
Each team will send a representative to coach the All-Star Game. The coach from the highest-seeded team on each roster will serve as the Head Coach of their respective team. For split divisions, it will be the highest-seeded team. (e.g. Silver 1 would be the higher seeded than Gold 2)
Please direct any questions regarding the All-Star Game to your League Director.
