The Softball “Select” Program provides an opportunity for advanced players to both participate in a more competitive level of play and to further enhance their softball skills. Select recognizes players who have excelled as evidenced by their game performance, softball skills, positive attitude, and overall sportsmanship. Select Teams will be chosen based on performance during evaluations, as well as intangibles including effort, sportsmanship, and coachability.

Per USA Softball rules, Select can only convene once a week for either practice or tournament play. Select participation is in addition to regular team participation and will not conflict with the regular season.

The cost of Select is not sponsored by the league and will require a participation fee. Select will also require some travel to neighboring fields. The LA/South Bay Select tournament is scheduled for Sunday, February 25, 2024 and Sunday, March 3, 2024. The programs will end no later than April 1, 2024.

Sunset will recognize and support, as warranted, up to two Select teams each in 14U, 12U, 10U and 8U. A player is ineligible for Select if she has participated in any Travel activity (including but not limited to practices and games) on or after January 1, 2024.

The objective of the Select Program is to field competitive teams. Positions and playing time will be determined by the Manager and based upon performance, effectiveness, and effort level. The mission of so-called “Gold” and “Silver” teams is to achieve the highest levels of success in USA Softball play.

Players who participate on Select Teams are not guaranteed selection onto their respective All-Star teams.

You will have the opportunity at evaluations (January 7) to update your child’s interest in being considered for Select.

Thanks,
Redondo Sunset Softball
