About All-Stars

All-Star teams are a select group of the league’s top players who will represent RPYB at the Nor-Cal Cal Ripken State tournament and potentially the Pacific Southwest Regional tournament. RPYB will field 4 All-Star teams; 9U, 10U, 11U, and a 12U team.  Each team has a roster of 12 players and is filled with players based on their age as of May 1, 2025.  Players are selected by the team manager, in conjunction with the RPYB player agent, based on skill level, attitude, play throughout the season, work ethic, ability to represent RPYB in the best manner possible both on and off the field, position needs, and commitment to the All-Star schedule.

Practices

Practices will begin as early as the second week of May.  Each manager will set up the practice days and times.  Typically, teams practice 3-5 days per week for 2 hours until the state tournament. If the team advances past the State tournament, then practices continue until the Regional tournament.

Games & Tournaments

Additional games and tournaments will be scheduled for each team up until the State tournament.  If the team advances past the State tournament, then games will continue until the Regional tournament.

Cost

There is an additional cost per player to participate in All -Stars. The cost typically ranges from $100-$500 per player, and the cost can be reduced based upon the amount of financial support available from the league.  Additionally, each player’s family is responsible for all travel and lodging for tournaments and games.  Each team may opt to do fundraising activities to help defer travel costs to out of area games and tournaments.

Parent/Guardian Requirements

Parents/Guardians are required to work/volunteer up to 10 hours at any River Park hosted All-Star State or Regional Tournament, regardless of the tournament's age level. Any parent/guardian may choose to waive their volunteer requirement by paying $250.00 per player. (This money will go towards the hiring of any high school/college students to replace the volunteer hours).

Participation

All-Star roster spots are highly coveted and extremely competitive.  Unfortunately, not all players who attend the evaluation and want to join will be selected to the team. In order to be eligible to play, all participants who are selected must be in good standing with the league with regard to registration, volunteer requirements, and individual player fees associated with AS. Additionally, if a player cannot fully commit to the full All-Star schedule, including practices and games, they should not take part in the All-Star evaluation process.
