All Star Parent Guide
Leadership
The manager of the regular season team with the best record in each age group shall be the manager of the All Star Team for that age group, subject to Board of Director approval of each manager. The Board of Directors may disapprove a manager for Tournament play for good cause, and may appoint another qualified manager, upon majority vote giving priority, where appropriate, to the manager with the next best regular season record. The manager of the regular season team with the best record may choose which team from the age group to manage (Gold, Black, 7U, 8U etc.). Once his selection is made, the manager with the next best regular season record has the option, subject to Board approval, to manage the remaining All Star Team. This procedure shall be followed until the Tournament Team managers are selected.
Purpose
The purpose of All Star Teams is two-fold; to reward deserving players for a great season, and to represent CAYB with the best team that CAYB can field. Managers should consider each player's ability, performance during the season, attitude, and any other relevant criteria; from the perspective of what is good for the All Star Team as a whole. A player should not be penalized nor held accountable for conduct that is the result of a medical or physical problem beyond the player's control.
Process
Team managers will submit a list of nominees from their team to attend All Star evaluations to the Age Group Commissioner. This is generally 3-5 players per team depending on the number of All Star teams for each age group and skill sets of each player compared to the rest of the division.
An evaluation date for All Star nominees shall be set by the Board of Directors at the end of the regular spring season. Players considered for the All Star team must attend evaluations in order to be considered for the All Star team unless a valid reason is provided to and approved by the Board of Directors.
Names of the players selected to the All Star Teams will be contacted prior to and then announced at the end of the season Closing Ceremonies for CAYB. This will be the process of notification unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors.
Fees
Dues may be required for All Star Team Members to cover the cost of Tournaments and Uniforms. Fees will be provided upon All Star selection.
Fundraising
Fundraising for All Star Teams shall include functions and activities that include the players and their families. Team sponsorships can be solicited under the advice of the Commissioner of Sponsors. Use of such funds shall be determined by a consensus of the team. In the event of a disagreement, the manager shall decide. Any funds collected and not used for the Tournament Team players, manager and assistant coaches prior to the last tournament game will become property of CAYB.
All Star players, managers, and coaches are subject to the rules, regulations and policies set forth herein in the same manner as during the regular season. Disciplinary issues and removal of managers and assistants shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Where impossible or impractical to impose the disciplinary action or penalty may be imposed the following regular season should the player or manager return to CAYB.
