All Star Weekend Schedule

All Star Weekend

The All-Star Program is by INVITATION ONLY. Players from the Fall Season are nominated by their Fall Coach. A listing of nominated players is gathered and presented to the Region's All-Star Committee. The Region's All-Star Committee and selected All-Star Coach(s), meet to select players from the All-Star listing of nominated players. Those selected to participate, will be notified by telephone and/or email.

All-Star nominations should be viewed as an honor and your child should be proud of this achievement. They were nominated and selected because their coach viewed them as a great athlete and team player.

(All-Star selection/participation of Players, Coaches, Referees, etc. are reviewed and qualified by their home region.
Regions are free to use any selection criteria which best fits their circumstances.)
