What are All-Stars?
All-Stars is a select program of competitive soccer organized and run by Area 1C for players who have demonstrated excellence in soccer skills, enthusiasm and commitment throughout the regular season. Teams play an intense schedule with games on Saturdays and Sundays starting in late January through the first weekend in March.

• This is a select program and NOT all players who show interest will be selected onto a team.
• Many players in the region are NOT selected to an All-Star team.
• Those players that are selected to an All-Star Team are expected to make all practices and games.
• The number of All-Star teams formed is often limited by the number of qualified parents who volunteer to referee and coach. Players whose parents volunteer to referee or coach during the All-Star Season will be given priority.

How are players selected for teams?
The number of All-Star teams formed in a division is often limited by the number of parents who volunteer to referee and coach.  Players whose parents volunteer to referee or coach during the All-Star season will be given priority. To be formed, All-Star teams require one Head Coach, two to three (2-3) Referees and one Team Manager on each team.

All-Star players are selected to teams at the All-Star Selection Meeting open to regular fall season Head Coaches. Players are placed on the voting lists by registering for the All-Star Program at www.ayso214.org. Coaches will vote for players to be selected to an All-Star team based on observations during regular season, observations made during Sunday Soccer and recommendations made during the All-Star Selection Meeting.

• All-Star teams have weeknight practices 1 or 2 times a week which can start as early as mid-December.
