What is All Stars?
All Stars is a voluntary secondary program offered by Atascadero Soccer. The program provides an extended soccer season for those who do not have a conflicting commitment. Teams compete with other Central California and throughout the State. There is an additional fee and additional requirements for players and their families who wish to participate.
Who can come out to the player evaluation days?
All eligible players in the 10u, 12u and 14u age divisions may participate in the player evaluation days. An eligible player will have played in at least 50% of the regular season games that they were eligible to participate in and they have not received excessive yellow or red cards during the season.
Visit the All-Star Evaluation Info page for more details on tryouts.
If my child was out with injury or illness for more than 50% of the season, is she/he still eligible?
Please contact the All Star Coordinator if you feel this may apply to your player to discuss your individual circumstances.
Can my player “play up” during All Stars?
Players must tryout for the same division they played in during the regular season.
How are the players selected?
All Star coaches make the selection and the Rec Chairman has final say on all players chosen. Players are chosen based on attitude, sportsmanship, skill, coach-ability and commitment. Rostered players selected will be expected to commit to the entire All-Star season. Players who are unable to commit to play in every All-Star season tournament may be excluded from the selection process. Players with other commitments may be selected as reserve players. Reserve players will only be eligible to participate in tournaments if there is room on the roster and that reserve player is available.
Is there a referee requirement?
No. Cal South tournaments provide their own referees. The tournament fees help to cover the fees to pay the refs.
Who will the coaches be?
In order to be considered for an All-Star coaching position you must have completed the following:
1) Attended and completed a age appropriate training.
2) Safe Sport certification.
3) Taken the CDC concussion course.

Who chooses the coaches?

When will we find out if our child made the team?
Coaches will notify players after the end of the EOS tournament and prior to Sunday November 20th as to their status.
How many teams will there be?
The amount of teams will be based on the amount of players that come to tryouts and the amount of coaches that are available in that division. We must strike this balance in order to play in any tournament.
When will they practice?
Coaches will select training times based on their availability. Trainings will begin after the end of the regular season and held 1-2 times per week. Breaks may be taken during the holidays. Coaches will notify you of the schedule prior to the start of trainings.
