All Stars

Dear All Star Player Candidates and Parents,
Thank you for your interest in the Brea Girls Softball League All-Star program. The Recreational Season is about individual instruction, learning the rules of the game, opportunities for every girl to play multiple positions, and having fun. The All-Star season is about team competition, developing advanced skills, instilling a winning attitude, and having fun. Since there is a significant difference between the Recreation and All-Star experience, it is important to establish expectations for the All-Star season.

Players shall abide by the following rules:

Attend all practices and games on time.
Accept whatever role/position/contribution the Manager designates for you.
Be willing to play positions that are unfamiliar to you.
Demonstrate a positive attitude and support your teammates.
The team is more important than the player.

Parents shall abide by the following rules:

Support the coaches and players.
Consider the team’s success as a success for your daughter and a rewarding experience.
Do not approach coaches during warm-ups, games, or practices to discuss playing time, positions, batting order, etc. Concerns must be addressed off the field at a mutually agreed time. Failure to adhere may result in suspension.
Parents and players may be asked to participate in fundraising efforts.
The All-Star season is a demanding schedule. You should expect to practice multiple times per week and play in 7-9 weekend tournaments (Friday - Sunday). The likelihood for most tournaments is multiple games on Saturdays and Sundays.
Parents are required to help with any tournaments held at Tamarack.

Our All-Star selection process is outlined in our Rules and Regulations.

If your daughter is selected to a team, here are a few things to remember:

Financial Commitment

The base financial commitment is typically $200 - $500 per player.
This cost covers a high-quality uniforms, all tournament fees, bat bag, helmet and USA Softball participant player card. 100% of this money is spent on All-Star purchases (there is no residual profit to the league).
There may be additional travel cost in the event you chose to stay in a hotel.
Teams that advance to the state and/or national tournaments will incur additional fees and travel expenses.
Please note if you owe the league any money this will need to be paid as well

Time Commitment

Tournament dates are listed in the All-Star Application form. 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 you should be available to play on Thursdays and Mondays (including holidays).
Team managers will determine the practice days. Most teams will conduct 5 two-hour practices per week, plus additional time for pitchers. All-Star practices will commence on approximately May 5, 2024.

Team Commitment

Playing time, positioning, and batting order are NOT guaranteed and may not be equal. There is a possibility that some players may not play in an entire game, as this is a competitive All-Star environment.

Finally, Brea Girls Softball would like to remind our parents and players that participation in the All-Star program is a privilege that requires a new level of commitment. All players are exposed to a high level of competition, and this is a great opportunity for your daughter.

I would like my daughter to be consider for BGS 2025 All Stars. I further declare that my daughter has NOT participated on a team other than the BGS spring recreation season she has been assigned to for the 2025 season since March 31, 2025. I understand if my daughter is selected for the All Star Team and we withdraw her from the All Star Program, she will be ineligible for the 2026 All Star Season

Due to USA Softball rules and regulations, All-Star teams may not practice until May 5, 2025.

Brea Girls Softball League shall choose Players for the All-Star season based upon the following criteria:

Eligibility

All players wishing to try out for an All-Star team must register below.
Eligible players must have participated in at least 75% of the team's recreational season games and practices.
Per USA Softball rules and regulations, a player participating in more than one USA Softball recreation league must declare by March 31, 2025 which league they wish to be eligible for All-Star selection. Please communicate directly to [email protected] the name of the player and the league they wish to be eligible.
Per USA Softball rules & regulations, any player participating on a non-USA softball team other than their recreation team (i.e. All-Star ,Travel or Club) after March 31, 2025 is NOT eligible to play All-Stars. Players MUST cease playing outside of their recreation team by March 31, 2025 in order to be eligible for All-Stars.
All players must submit the All-Star Application form.

Selection Process

Players will be selected by, but not limited to: athletic ability, commitment, leadership, citizenship and sportsmanship as demonstrated throughout the Recreation Season. Selection will be determined based on all available information in forming teams, including but not limited to: player age, experience, skills, positions played, strength and balance of All-Star teams (if more than one team will be fielded in a division), behavior of the player and player’s family.

We look forward to another exciting All-Star season. Please contact me with any questions.
