All Star FAQ: Introduction
Please note: as the ECYB has just (in May 2007) revised many of the All-Star rules, we have not yet been able to fully review the following FAQs to ensure that they're consistent with the new rules. If there's any inconsistency between thesee FAQ's and the rules, the rules govern. ECYB All-star ball is an opportunity for a select group of kids who played in ECYB during the regular season to play more baseball on a team with other ECYB kids who exhibit - - in the managers' estimation- - a high level of baseball skill, ability, and sportsmanship. ECYB all-star ball is open only to those children who were registered in ECYB and who participated in the regular (current) season. Players, coaches, and managers for ECYB all-star teams are not chosen until the end of the regular season -- after all of the managers have had an opportunity to see all of the kids in action and after the managers have had an opportunity to interact with the kids and with each other. Team formation usually begins sometime between June 1 and June 15. All-star ball is typically not played locally and consists of a series of tournaments that are held in and around the Bay Area (El Cerrito does not have the resources to host a tournament). There are tournaments in Fremont, Pittsburg, San Carlos, Concord, Millbrae and a number of other nearby cities. Some of the tournaments are open to more than one division (Pinto, Mustang, Bronco, et al) so a Pinto, Mustang, and Bronco team may all wind up at one tournament to play other Pinto, Mustang and Bronco teams respectively. Some cities, like San Anselmo, hold a series of tournaments throughout the summer, each open only to a specific age bracket. Is there an all-star Memorial Day tournament? Who pays for all-star ball? Which ECYB divisions have all-star teams? How many all-star teams are there in an ECYB division? How do I apply for my child to play all-star ball? How are kids selected for the all-star teams? Who manages the all-star team? Is there a practice schedule for all-star ball? Snacks?! What about all-star uniforms and gear? Do all-stars play by different rules? What commitment is involved from the kids and their families How much playing time is each kid guaranteed? How big is an all-star team roster? Do all-star teams ever need substitute players? |
