2026 All-Star Program

The All-Star program is a competitive tournament program. This program runs from late May through July 2025.  Only players from the Spring Recreational season are eligible to play and must try out and be selected for a team. Teams compete against other All-Stars and Select teams from surrounding leagues. The goal is to qualify for and attend the Western Nationals Tournament. WGFSA will be holding tryouts soon. We will send more information as we get closer to the May 1st date on the schedule for each age bracket.

What do tryouts look like?

 

Players will be evaluated on:

 

  • Running
  • Hitting and bunting
  • Infield and outfield skills

 

Pitchers and catchers will be evaluated separately. Players are scored and ranked by an independent evaluation panel.

Team selections will take place the week following tryouts.
All players will be notified within 10 days after tryouts conclude.
