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.)

What Divisions participate in the All-Star program?

All-Star teams are formed from participants in the Fall 10U, 12U and 14U divisions. Players from the EXTRA or United programs are not eligible to participate in the All-Star Program.

When/where are All-Star games played?

All-Star matches are typically played in mid/late January
Matches will be held at various local Area 11-O fields - depending on field permits and availability. (i.e. RMV, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Ladera Ranch, and Laguna Niguel)

My child was selected to participate in All-Stars, how do I register him/her?

All participants in the All-Star Program (Players, Coaches, etc.) must register online through their Region.
Parents should log into their AYSO Regional account and select the ALL-STAR PROGRAM.
Failure to register online by your Regions cutoff/deadline date, could result in an invitation to participate, being withdrawn.
ONLY those individuals contacted by their Regional All-Star Coach or Regional All-Star Committee should select and register for the All-Star Program.
Registering in the All-Star Program DOES NOT register a player for a Regions Spring Program. Players and Volunteers MUST register for each of the respective programs individually.

Congratulations to all of our All-Stars!!!

semi-finals and finals

A Regions overall tournament pool play referee coverage participation must average 4.0 or greater (# of pool play referee positions covered by the Regions referees divided by number of teams participating in the tournament from that same Region). (i.e. 26 tournament pool play referee positions filed by the Region / 6 teams submitted to the tournament = 4.3 regional tournament pool play referee participation average.)

Should a team’s Regional tournament pool play referee participation average fail to meet the minimum required, a team may still qualify for advancement should the team individually cover at least four (4) tournament pool play referee positions. (Referees must select the team they wish to receive credit when signing up for a match via MatchTrak. Retroactive team credit will not be allowed.)

Failure of a Region or Team to meet the needed tournament pool play referee participation requirement, could prohibit a team from advancing beyond tournament pool play.

(Extenuating Regional and/or Team circumstances must be submitted in writing to the Tournament Director, prior to the start of the tournament.)
