What Every Parent and Player Should Know About All-Stars
It is an honor to be selected for an All-Star team. Many players
compete for a position on the team - not all players make the team. For
the players and parents that do make the team, it is very important to
understand expectations, requirements, and the commitment required to
be on AND remain on the team.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Players are REQUIRED to participate in all All-Star Team selection
process activities and attend ALL practices and games during the
tournament. If that commitment cannot be made, parents must inform the
team manager before he or she nominates your child for an All-Star
team. More information for parents can be found in the Cactus Foothills North All-Star Team Information for Parents document.
To be considered as a qualified nominee, players must: (1) be available during the summer months to fully participate in all practices and games, (2) have exemplary skill levels, (3) have good attitudes, (4) be committed to winning and the team, and (5) be recognized by peers, managers, and coaches for their playing ability during the regular season:
- Skill Level – In the opinion of the individual team manager, each nominee must poses baseball skills in the top 30% of players within their age group.
- Attitude – The player must demonstrate respect for other players, coaches, umpires and league officials.
- Commitment
– Each player must be willing to commit him/herself completely to the
All Star team and the schedule as set forth by the manager and
tournament officials. The player is required to attend EVERY practice
and game and will not be excused without a valid reason. Unexcused
absences, as determined by the manager, may be penalized up to and
including removal from the All-Star team.
- Regular Season Performance and Playing Ability – High levels of regular season performance and playing ability will be recognized by peers, managers, and coaches via manager nominations and player/manager/coach voting on said nominees.
To ensure that there is no misunderstanding between parents, players, and managers of All-Star teams regarding requirements, parents/legal guardians and players are required to sign the Cactus Foothills North Little League All-Star Commitment Letter before being permitted to try out for an All-star team.
