The SVYSL All-Star program is by INVITATION ONLY. U8 and U10 players from the fall season are nominated by their fall coach to attend tryouts. After tryouts, the all-star committee will meet with divisional commissioners and All-Star coaches to select players from the All-Star list of nominated players who tried out. Those selected to participate will be notified by telephone and/or email. All-Star nominations should be viewed as an honor and your child should be proud of this achievement. They were nominated and selected because their coach viewed them as a great athlete and team player.
