Overview:
The USA Softball Select program is designed to create a more competitive environment for players to participate in while still remaining in a recreational league setting. This program will allow Recreational leagues to form a team to represent their league in the Select program.
Each league will be eligible to put together a Select team at the beginning of the year to compete against the other Select teams. This allows the league to retain the better players while keeping them in the recreational league. This in turn, creates a higher base level of play in the recreational league and drives participation back to the rec program. Leagues are eligible to put forth two teams in a division only if their Select players are also playing Rec.
Essentially, the Select program is a way for leagues to allow their 1st All-Star team an opportunity to form early, then opening up another opportunity for a secondary All-Star team come May 1st if desired.
Eligibility:
All Select teams and players must follow the USA Softball Sacramento Select policies outlined in this document AND the Pacific Coast Region Rules of Eligibility. This includes, but is not limited to:
• The team must be approved by and represent a single recreational league.
• The team must have some form of tryouts or demonstration of skill that is announced to the entire league membership.
• Only players that live or go to school within the boundaries of the recreational league are eligible for Select. Waivers from other leagues are generally not accepted unless the home league doesn’t have a Rec team within the same age division.
• Any league player that participates with any other team outside of their recreational league after March 31 forfeits their eligibility.
• Teams may NOT play in any other sanctioned event outside of USA Softball.
