Dear Coaches,

 

It is hard to believe, but All Star selection time is just around the corner.  You will find enclosed the following information relating to All Star selections:

 

1.                  All Star Player Nominees Ballot

(Please refer to the CLRA Athletic Programs Handbook, Rule 41, page 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.

Softball Tournament dates and sites have been set.  Baseball Tournament dates have been set, however, all sites have not been set. The tournament sites will be available to you as soon as we have them.

You may view this information on our web site at www.clra.net.

 

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 28th.  

 

Best regards,
