AYSO National has the U14 program whereas Region 166 has a U15 program. In order to play in other AYSO tournaments, our region must field a U14 team.

All-Star Committee will consist of: Regional Commissioner, Assistant Regional Commissioners, Director of Coordinators and Division Coordinator. Division Coordinator will have on file from each coach the team roster including jersey number of each player. Division Coordinator distributes these rosters to each coach in the division. Throughout the season, coaches will be “evaluating, observing” not only the players on his/her team but players throughout the league. On the first weekend of October, each division will hold a division meeting to vote and select the All-Star Team. At least one All-Star Committee member, in addition to the Division Coordinator, will be present for the selection meeting. Selection process at meeting will go as follows: Each coach (one coach from each team) will submit a ballot of his/her top players from the league to complete an all star roster. U10 – 9 players, U12 – 12 players, U15 – 14 players, U19 – 14 players Each coach will also submit his/her choice for coach for the All-Star team. Division Coordinator and other committee member will tally the votes from each team. The top 14 vote getters will be named to the All-Star team. U10 – 9 players, U12 – 12 players, U15 – 14 players, U19 – 14 players **there may be two all star teams selected for U10 divisions and U12 divisions – will be determined before selection time. If that is the case, U10 coaches will select top 18 players and U12 coaches will select top 24 players in order to have two rosters. Division Coordinator and other committee member will tally votes from each coach on the coach selection.
