The NPGS All-Star program strives to provide eligible participants with an opportunity to participate in the highly competitive postseason tournament softball environment. It shall be recognized that these All-Star team(s), Manager(s), Coach(es), player(s), and parent(s) are representing the NPGS program. Although a higher level of competition and winning will be more evident than in regular season activities, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play shall be stressed as the core values for all participants and their families.
The “Gold” team will participate in the USA Softball Championship Tournaments and other selected tournaments.
The “Silver” and “Bronze” teams may not play the same schedule as the “Gold” team.
All teams will be selected by vote of the Managers and Head Coaches in that division. Managers and Head Coaches can also nominate players not currently on their team. (Appendix S).
All teams will participate in weekend tournaments (Friday through Sunday) through USA Softball Championship Play, as well as some additional tournaments through the end of July (dates are approximate). Some tournaments may involve overnight travel. Parental supervision and support are required.
Practice will begin around May 1st and can be held every day (dependent upon the division) at the Team Manager’s discretion.
The goal of the league and the coaching staff is for the “Gold” teams to win.
The goal for the “Silver” and “Bronze” teams is to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to compete as future Gold Team players.
While Managers will provide opportunities for player development, they have sole discretion as to position selection. Please refer to Appendix T of the NPGS OPPs for minimum playing requirements set forth for all Managers to comply with during the All-Star season.
While participation on a tournament team is a major commitment, it is an honor to be selected and provides your daughter with an opportunity to have fun and increase their abilities.
If your daughter would like to be considered for an NPGS All Star Team, please complete the All Star Participation Form accordingly and return it to your Manager/Head Coach or the current NPGS Player Agent at PlayerAgent@newburyparkgirlssoftball.org.
