The SVYSL All-Stars 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.
What is the All-Star program?
The All-Star program is a soccer program for players who are willing to commit to playing after the main fall season. Selected players will have higher level skill sets and a competitive desire to play in games and tournaments with the best soccer players from other recreational leagues.
How are Coaches & Players Selected?
Coaches are selected by the SVYSL Board of Directors. All Star coaches typically have a higher level of experience in competitive play and have commissioner recommendations.
