Section 10 Article 7 All Star Excerpt

All Star Competition 1. The All Star program is intended to provide an opportunity for those players who have demonstrated outstanding soccer ability, and who have displayed an attitude of fair play, enthusiasm, cooperation, and spirit to participate on a team composed of players who have similar qualifications and desires.

a. Section 10 offers an All Star program for U19, U16, non-‐co-‐ed teams, only, at the discretion of the Section Director with the approval of a majority of the Area Directors.

2. All Star teams shall be formed no sooner than 10 (ten) days prior to Thanksgiving for all U14, U12, and U10 teams, unless a written exception is submitted to the Section Director and is approved by the Section Director and Area Directors prior to the requesting Region’s start of season. This shall mean that no player can be confirmed as being on an all-‐star team, no final roster may be published, no team meetings can be had, no practice may be conducted, and no tryouts may be held until ten days before Thanksgiving.

a. Between November 1st and 10 (ten) days prior to Thanksgiving, coaches may, however, receive nominations or recommendations, inquire as to whether or not a player will be available to play if selected to the team, and evaluate players. A final roster shall be given to the Area Director on a date established by the Area Director. This date shall be prior to the team’s first game in Area competition, or such earlier date as the Area Director may establish. b. Each Area shall determine its own competitive format.

c. All Star players must compete in the division in which they participated in during the regular season. However, regions that desire to play U-‐19 through U-‐10 matches intra-‐regionally and are unable to field a minimum of four Teams per division, may combine players from within U19 through U10 for That purpose. The decision to utilize this format shall be announced prior to the season start, and the Region must obtain the approval of the Area Director. A Region playing with this format may create all-‐star teams for U19 through U10 with players of the appropriate age to participate in Area and Section play. d. To be eligible for all-‐star competition a player must have been registered and played in the minimum number of league games as determined by the Region, but not less than half of the total league games played by the team to which he/she was assigned to during the just concluded regular season as defined in the National Rules and Regulations. League games shall be the games played by that team prior to playoffs within the Region or Area.

10


3. Special circumstance eligibility may include a change of residence, an illness, a severe injury, parental custodial rights, and conflict with high school rules (CIF). Approval for the special circumstance eligibility must be obtained by the Area Director.

a. In order to maintain uniformity of application of these Rules and Regulations, all teams, including tournament and select teams, shall be governed by the rules applicable to all-‐star teams, including the rule relating to the date for formation. All tournaments held in Section 10 shall be governed by the National Rules and Regulations.
