All-Star/ Select Tournament Team Program
In addition to our Fall Season ("Core"), we have a more competitive tournament team program for divisions 10U & Up. Only players that participate in our Fall Season are eligible. Tournament team formation depends on volunteer support requiring coaches, team administrators & referees. Coaches interested in becoming a tournament team coach may apply during the season...more details on the program & fees TBA.
Our primary tournament team is the All-Star Team, which is finalized at the conclusion of the season. Players selected to the All-Star team will play in the Area 1P All-Star Tournament on over TWO weekends in late January. Winners advance to Section playoffs (w/ winners of that advancing to the Western States Championship) in the following months. The All-Star team may also participate in in AYSO tournaments hosted by regions around SoCal & beyond (usually 2 day weekend tournaments with multiple games open to All-Star, Select & EXTRA teams) & continue through Winter/ Spring (although not all teams will choose to play beyond February/ March). A Select Team may also form...usually made of players not on the All-Star team...and those teams may participate in all of the same tournaments (except, of course, the All-Star tournaments).
The player selection process usually is determined by coach/ Board nomination process and some form of a tryout. It's possible the tryout process may begin mid-season as long as it doesn't interfere with the regular season. The first possible tournaments of the season are the "Turkey Tournaments" on Thanksgiving Weekend (Friday-Saturday or Sunday).
Please advise that tournament teams must have a minimum number of referees (usually at least 3) in order to be approved by the Region Board. Important to note that being a referee volunteer is one of the many factors in the player selection process.
More details to follow in the coming months..
