LNYSA designed its all star-program to recognize players not only for their soccer skills but also their sportsmanship, teamwork, coachability and attitude. The LNYSA board wants to provide these deserving players the opportunity to participate in practices and games against higher caliber competition in a safe, fun and learning environment.
A committee oversees LNYSA’s all-star program. The committee consists of members from the coach administration, referee administration, the safety director and board members. Coaches submit an interest form for consideration to become an all-star coach. The committee reviews each application and selects the best candidates.
Fall coaches nominate players for consideration to participate in all-stars. The all-star coaches watch games, evaluate players and talk with coaches to determine the best candidates to participate in all-stars. At a meeting overseen by the all-star committee coaches select players for their teams.
For the 2011 all-star season each division and gender will field one team. U9 and U10 roster sizes permit up to 12 players and U12 and U14 rosters permit up to 15 players. All-Star teams will have at least 1 player from each Fall team in the same division.
Player notification begins in December. Coaches will call the player’s parents to inquire if the player would like to participate in the all-star program. Participation in the all-star program is by invitation only. It is the board's desire that at least one player is selected for all-stars from each fall team.
Practices begin in December and continue into January. Our teams participate in the CalSouth Division 3 all-star tournament in January.
