General
Questions:
1. How is
the All Star Team selected?
During the regular season, each Babe Ruth coach is expected to
evaluate their own players, as well as those players on opposing
teams. The coach’s evaluation aids
the All-Star coach in the selection of the players.
2. How
much will it cost for my child to play on an All Star team?
You should plan on the cost of All Stars being anywhere between
$100 and $200 for the cost of uniforms and tournaments. You should
also consider the cost of travel and lodging. Most coaches encourage
players to obtain sponsors to reduce the player’s costs.
3. What
is the time commitment expected when playing All Stars?
The All Star teams will be chosen about 2 weeks prior to the end of the
regular season. Tournament play typically begins a week or two after
the regular season (mid-June) and can continue through the end of July or
even the 1st of August depending on how successful the team
is. Families who have vacation time planned during this period of
time should discuss their schedule with the coach prior to making the
commitment to the All Star team.
4. Will
my child get adequate playing time on an All Star Team?
Most All Star teams have at least 12 players, which may reduce
the playing time of some players. All Stars is definitely more
competitive than the regular season and coaches will play those players who
they feel can best help the team be successful. Coaches will do their
best to provide a positive experience for all players, but must play those
who he/she feels will give the team the best chance of succeeding.
Some tournaments require teams to bat only 9 players, which also can limit
playing time.
