Selection Process
The All-Star Committee will select each team, with Manager input, after each evaluation day for each division. All-Star Managers will attempt to contact players and inform them of their team selection by May 3, 2026. A league representative will notifying players that were not selected. This may be done by phone or email.
Cost
The base financial commitment is $595 per player. This cost covers two jerseys, an All-Star helmet with face mask, All-Star roller bag, registration fees for at least five tournaments, and USA Softball participant player card. There is no residual profit to the league. There may be additional travel cost in the event you choose to stay in a hotel. Teams that advance to the state and/or national tournaments will incur additional fees and travel expenses.
Time and Team Commitment
Time Commitment. Teams that advance to state and/or national tournaments are expected to play until mid-July. Tournaments generally start on Fridays and end on Sundays; however all players should be available to play on all holidays. Team managers will determine the practice days. Most teams will conduct 2-3 three-hour practices per week. All-Star practices will commence on May 4, 2026.
Team Commitment. Playing time, positioning, and batting order are NOT guaranteed and may not be equal. As this is a competitive All-Star environment, there is a possibility that some players may not play in an entire game.
