In years past we have found managers and then allowed them to draft the team of their choice with the Gold or A Manager (Designated) drafting their team and then the Silver or B Manager drafting a second team from what is left. While there is no perfect way of choosing teams we are hoping that this change will bring a little bit more transparency to the process and allow us as a league to put the best team forward in each division. All Star Team Managers will then be selected with managers getting to pick one additional player.  

Costs:  

While we don’t want All-Stars to be a pay for play event there is an economic side to this. The cost of All-Stars this year will be $200 dollars plus $100 deposit for Snack Bar Deposit or Buy-out. Once the girls are selected the parent will go on-line and complete registration. They will need to pay $100 upfront which is the snack bar deposit. The team will then have until May 23^rd to either turn in $1250 from sponsorships, fundraisers or parents writing a check.      No $1250 for the team, no uniforms….. !!!The team will then have until 06/21/2010 to turn in the remaining $1250 dollars. If there is no payment then the team may not be allowed to participate in districts, or the remaining tournaments as well as jeopardizing future All Star eligibility for the Manager and players. This is a big deal! All Stars is elective and we are being very clear in our fundraising expectations of each team.

Fundraising:

Up until closing day any fundraisers that are done will be league fundraisers. The proceeds from each fundraiser will be split with 50% going Recreation League, 40% going to All-Stars and 10% going to Winterball. AFTER closing day all proceeds will go to the teams directly that raise money. The All-Star Programs have already benefited from the E-Oil campaign that was conducted as outlined above.

Uniforms:

  – Webster’s Definition of uniform is: dress of a distinctive design or fashion worn by members of a particular group and serving as a means of identification.

You will be provided a SMGS Uniform that includes a visor, shirt, shorts, socks. The uniform is not to be modified. It’s one red sock, one blue sock, you choose which foot. Hair dressings are fine and are your choice. The Players are provided an All-Star Jacket as well if they have not played All-Stars before. If they have, we will embroidery the All-Star year on their existing jacket.

Team Gear:

I would like to see the Team Gear thing held to a minimum this year. I think most girls have bat bags and helmets. My High School daughter has about multiple bags and multiple helmets. If you make it to state maybe you can dress it up… but let’s be respectful of our parent’s hard-earned money. (player agent)
