All-Star Player Selection Policy

1. What is an All-Star?
  • A child that has proven to be one of the top players in his/her age group.
  • Proven either by his record in their current season or in tryouts for All-Star or a combination of all.
  • Has shown good sportsmanship among teammates and opponents.
  • Has shown respect to coaches and umpires.
  • Is coachable and cooperative.
  • The player would be an exceptional representative of Midway Park and contribute to the success of the appropriate age group.
  • The player's summer schedule must allow for extensive summer baseball and commitment to his team.
2. When will tryouts be held?
    
2010 All-star tryouts will be held toward the end of the season in April, so check back for more information. If more tryouts are deemed necessary by the head coach then field space will be made available.

3. The tryout format will be left open to the chosen head coach. All tryouts must be held at Midway Park with notice given to the All-Star Committee.

4. The All-Star committee will evaluate players with the coach, and will select the first 9 players.  The coach will have two picks of his own, but those picks must be justified to the committee.

5. Who will choose the team?

See #4 above.

6. Who will pick the assistant coaches for the All-Star team?

The All-Star Coach will select his assistants from the pool of fathers of the children that make the team.

7. How will players be selected for the tryout process?

All coaches in each age group will be given the right to nominate kids from his/her team to be involved in the tryout process. If a player feels they have been unfairly left off of a nomination list they are welcome to attend tryouts.

8. What if a player has uncontrollable circumstances that prevents him/her from attending the scheduled tryout?

The head coach will make arrangements for this player to be evaluated. Only one scheduled make up date will be provided.

9. What if there is enough interest in forming two all-star teams in a age group?

Only one team will be park-sanctioned from ages 7 and up.
