All stars are a MAJOR time commitment to practice and games.  If you are planning a family vacation during the all star season and will miss the practices or games, please be considerate and do not take a spot away for a player that will make all of the commitments. This is very important.  Please be honest when asked at sign-ins.

We will be sending out a letter via email and a posting on the website shortly.
