All Star Information 2007 Policy The regular A.A.Y.O. season is geared toward all players on a team participating in each game. Prior to the end of the season, try-outs will be held for each leagues respective All Star team(s). All Stars is an opportunity for selected league players to compete at a higher level through area tournaments.
The manager of the All-Star team has the responsibility of setting the line-up for each game. This means that the manager will decide the positions each player will play and the batting order. There will be no input from the parents of the All-Star in this matter. The manager’s decision is final. There is one rule that each manager will have to follow. No player shall sit the bench for more than one consecutive inning during each game. It is the responsibility of the coaches and parents to explain to all ball players this position and to support him/her throughout the All-Star season.
If for any reason there is a problem with the above stated policy, comments should be directed to the attention of the Executive Committee through the Baseball or Softball Director, not through team managers and coaches. Keep in mind that the team represents not only A.A.Y.O. during the All-Star season, but the Algonquin community as well. Good sportsmanship on the part of the managers, coaches, players and parents should be of the utmost importance at all times.
It will be the responsibility of the parents to supply a copy of their child’s birth certificate to the team manager, prior to the first All-Star game.
