1.                  All Star Player Nominees Ballot

(Please refer to the CLRA Athletic Programs Handbook, Rule 41, pages 19-22 to review the All Star Selection process).

 

2.                  As indicated to you in each of your player draft nights, All Star selection dates have been moved up to accommodate tournament dates and to allow for a better opportunity for practices prior to the tournaments.

I would like to suggest that you do not inform your players of your team All Star nominees.  So many times when a child knows of their nomination and they are not chosen as an All Star Player- then the child's feelings are hurt.  You may feel the need to inform the child's parents that their child may be nominated- just in case they may have plans during the All Star tournaments or they may not want their child nominated for some other reason.  If you do choose to tell the parents, I would ask the parents not to disclose the nomination to their child or to anyone else.  Again, this is just a suggestion that might prevent some problems.

 

Thanks for your hard work and dedication this season- without you this program could not exist.  If you have any questions please feel free to call me.  I look forward to seeing you on All Star Selection Night, Wednesday, May 27th.  

 

Best regards,
