FALL Ball stars

FALL STARS 2024 OVERVIEW

“Fall Stars” is modeled on the Spring “Select” program. “Select” is a USA Softball-sanctioned program that provides the option for advanced players to play softball at a more challenging level during the Spring recreational season. No such program exists in the fall, but leagues can run their own Select-style programs – “Fall Stars.”

“Fall Stars” players are chosen from the Fall Ball Rec teams and must participate in a minimum of 75% of all recreational league practices and games to remain eligible for “Fall Stars.”

PLAYER SELECTION

Playing on a “Fall Stars” team is a privilege. Final selection of players will be made based on evaluations, previous coach’s input (including intangibles like coachability), player attitude, and commitment level.
Tryouts will be held at Alta Vista Park during the last weekend of August, in addition to the Rec Fall Ball evaluations.

MANAGER SELECTION

To be eligible to manage a “Fall Stars” team, an applicant must have managed or coached at Redondo Sunset during the prior calendar year, and must have at least one year of experience managing or coaching (i.e., a dugout coach) at the All Star or Select level in any division.
Applicants must email the Softball Commissioner () no later than August 15, 2024. Assuming the existence of qualified candidates, the Executive Board will confirm Managers for each team, excluding Executive Board Members that are candidates. Executive Board Members that submit applications to be Select managers will not be included in the voting process. The Manager may choose his/her coaching staff as long as the coach has not been denied a team for disciplinary reasons.
The Manager must be ACE Certified and concussion certified. This is an additional time commitment separate and above the background check and SafeSport requirements.

FEES

An additional registration fee is required to cover the costs of umpire fees (for interleague “friendlies”, separate from the tournaments), softballs and other equipment for the managers for team use, and uniforms. This registration fee will be $98 per player (does not cover tournaments). We are hoping to enter 3-4 tournaments in November and December. The entry costs of those tournaments will be split amongst the players playing in them and will be billed later in the fall, separately from the registration fees.
