There will be two All-Star teams with 12 players each (8 & Under, 10 & Under, and 12 & Under) and one (or two if possible) All-Star teams with a minimum of 12 players (14 & Under and 18 & Under).  Number of teams in 14U & 18U will be determined by how many pitchers and girls show up at tryouts.  There is no All Star team in the 6 & Under T-Ball age group.

TRY-OUT ELIGIBILITY:  Players are eligible to try out for All-Stars ONLY in the age group she played in during the season.  All players must play in at least 75% of her league games, be on the All Star nomination list, attend All Star try outs and be able to make all three required All Star tournaments (see below), to be considered for All Stars.

All exceptions to these situations must be cleared through the OMGS Board of Directors before the player is allowed to be selected as an All Star.

COACH SELECTION:  If you are interested and willing to commit to coaching All Stars, please contact Leslie Scott, All Star Director or any Board member.  Notice must be given by Saturday, May 1, 2010 if a coach would like to be considered for All Stars. Coaches in all age groups will be selected by the OMGS Board of Directors by Saturday May 8th, 2010. To assist the Board, each potential coach will be evaluated using the OMGS All Star Coach's evaluation Form. This evaluation will assist the Board in making final determination.   All Star coaches are allowed to scout players that are on the All Star Nominee List by watching games, viewing official scorebooks, etc.  All coaches are responsible to work together and plan out their own age group try-outs. 

PLAYER NOMINATIONS:  Every head coach will nominate all eligible players that are interested in trying out from his/her 2010 league team.  All nominated players must meet all of the try-out eligibility requirements above and be able to commit to becoming an All Star. Coaches: Please discuss the time commitment for All Stars with the Player and Parents prior to placing her name on the All Star nomination list. Please do not nominate your whole team. Coaches and players on each All Star team depend on all players giving 100% commitment to All Stars. If it is determined that a player chosen for All Stars does not make a reasonable effort to attend practices or misses any required tournament games (except for unforeseen illness or circumstances), that player will NOT be eligible to try out for 2011 season All Stars.

Nominations are to be turned in on by May 15.  It is the coach's responsibility to turn in the nomination form to any OMGS Board Member by this date.  All players on the All-Star Nominee List will be invited to All-Star Try-Outs on Saturday, May 22 at Centennial Park.

8 & Under:  After try-outs, coaches will be allowed to pre-select four players from his/her 2010 league team who are listed on the All-Star Nominee List.  A coin flip will determine which coach picks first.  Coaches will alternate picks until 24 All Stars have been selected.  Coaches ARE NOT allowed to select another player from his/her 2010 league team until both coaches have selected 10 players.  COACHES MAY ONLY CHOOSE A MAXIMUM OF SIX PLAYERS FROM HIS/HER 2010 LEAGUE TEAM.
