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.

The league schedule competition includes teams from all Area 1C Regions and games may be held in ANY of these locations:

Arcadia (2)
Pasadena (13)
San Gabriel (40)
Alhambra (60)
Glendale (88)
Temple City (98)

Tryouts may or may not be held from year to year.
If tryouts are held, they are HIGHLY recommended, and held in each division so that coaches may see players who are not on their regular season team. This is an opportunity for the player to showcase their skills.
Tryout dates will be posted on the website and communicated to all players.
There will be no make-up tryout sessions and players who do not attend may limit their opportunities if coaches feel they do not know enough about the player.

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 their observations during the tryouts (if held), observations during regular season and recommendations made during the All-Star Selection Meeting.

What is the Schedule?

All-Star teams have weeknight practices 1 or 2 times a week which can start as early as mid-December.
All-Star teams have games every Saturday and Sunday from January through early March. There may also be weeknight games.

What is the Cost?
The cost per player is determined every year, which includes a uniform and a sweatshirt. A player will be offered a spot on a team and will have 48 hours to accept the spot through www.ayso214.org. Scholarships may be available upon request, but must be requested PRIOR to tryouts.

When will Registration be Available?
Registration is available midway through the season.
