All Star Nominations, Evaluations, and Selections 

  • All Star coaches are selected by the board prior to the evaluation.
  • The coaches of the Major and Minor League Divisions have the opportunity to nominate players from their respective team to attend the evaluation for the 9U’s, 10U’s, 11U’s and 12U’s. 
  • Each All Star coach will hold a one or two-day All Star Evaluation Day, depending on the number of players being evaluated.  Date TBD.
  • All Star coaches will run their own evaluation.
  • Players will be evaluated on throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, running, and pitching.
  • If you are selected for the All Star team, you will be notified within 1 week after evaluations and be required to register.
  • Team are typically composed of 11-12 players

All Stars Time Commitments

  • The All Stars schedule is demanding and runs from approximately mid-June to late July/early August. 
  • Teams will play in 2-3 tournaments.
  • If a Coastal Cape team registers to compete in the District 8 Tournament, that will be an additional tournament. Teams participating in the District Tournament will likely begin practicing prior to the end of the Coastal Cape regular season. 
  • Families must commit to attending 100% of the events on the schedule.
  • Schedules for each tournament weekend are not released to the league until the week of that tournament. Typically, you should plan on playing Friday through Sunday, though a few tournaments will start Thursday evening – that is the exception.  The schedule is forwarded to your coach, and then to each of you as soon as we get it. This can make for last-minute scheduling but is unavoidable.

Parents Responsibilities 

  • Once your player is selected to an All Star team you will be notified and sent a link for online registration.
  • There is an additional cost for participation of $150 - $200. 
  • Parents are responsible for transportation of your player to all practices, games and tournaments.
  • Remember that this is an All Star team − playing positions, playing time and batting order is totally up to the coach’s discretion. Just because your player was a pitcher or shortstop during the season doesn’t mean that is where they will play in All Stars. There is a minimum play rule − everyone will play!!
  • All Star Tournaments will feel competitive. The best of each league has been chosen to play in these tournaments.
  • Remember, your biggest responsibility is to both our players and coaches. Set a good example of support and sportsmanship. Be loud and proud, both in winning and losing.
  • A team parent will be assigned to help coordinate communication and answer any questions that may arise.

Player Responsibilities

  • Players must attend all practices and games. 
  • Players will need to arrive on time for all tournament games, and be prepared − dressed in the league-provided uniform, with any needed equipment.
  • The tournaments are often on hot summer weekends − make sure your player has drinks and snacks to keep up the energy.
  • The tournaments take a lot out of the kids − making sure they get a good night’s sleep is essential.

Fundraising

  • The tournaments are expensive, ranging from $600 - $800 per tournament. Depending on the number of tournaments that each team participates in, some all star coaches may ask their team for additional fundraising efforts to help keep the costs to families within the $150 - $200 range.  

Playing on the Coastal Cape All Star team is a great honor, yet comes with a demanding commitment. The rewards are many and worth the effort. For any questions not addressed here, please contact us at TBD
