    All-Stars Participation Agreement

    Note: All-Star Tryouts are by a nomination-process only. Your manager will notify you if your child has been nominated.

    All-Stars is also in the Spring Season ONLY, tryouts being towards the end of the season.  Certain eligibility requirements must be made for a player to be able to be nominated.  

    PLEASE DO NOT RE-SUBMIT FORM IF YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT.  IF YOU PREVIOUSLY RECIEVED THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION OR YOU GOT TO THE 'THANK-YOU' PAGE THEN YOU'RE GOOD.

  • THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED BY PARENT/GUARDIAN OF ALL-STAR TRYOUT PARTICIPANT AT LEAST A DAY BEFORE ALL-STAR TRYOUTS DAY.  THIS FORM WILL ANSWER MANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL-STARS.   Being part of all-stars is like starting a whole new season, but typically with a busier schedule and more commitment required. It's important that everyone understands this in advance.  Parents of all All-Star Tryouts participants must read and agree to the following information about Tryouts as well as being on the team if their child is selected.

  • Completed Fundraiser

    MPB League Fundraiser requirements must be met prior to participating in tryouts.  If this isn't complete, and the "opt-out" option wasn't selected and paid for at time of registration, the player will not be able to participate in tryouts.

  • Uniform Payment

    You will be required to pay for your childs All-Star uniform ($150 to $190 for complete uniform, possibly including practice jersey).  Players will be selected 3 to 12 days after Tryouts, uniform payment must be made within 10 days of manager notifying you of your childs selection to the team.  If payment isn’t made before that date your child may be removed and his spot on the team replaced. 

  • Age & Address Requirements

    After selection to the All-Star team you may be required to provide proof of residency in Riverside County, and you will be required to provide proof of correct age (must be the "legal" age for that division). These are Pony Baseball requirements that every player in every local league must follow.

  • All-Star Tournaments

    Tournaments for each division typically start in mid/late June.  To view the tournament schedule of past years, as well as a TENTATIVE schedule for this year, CLICK HERE.  IMPORTANT: SCHEDULE IS VERY SUBJECT TO CHANGE THIS EARLY ON. This doesn't mean it will happen, and if it does it wouldn't be by much, but until you see locations for all dates it's not necessarily locked in yet.  Typically, all teams get a minimum of two tournaments.  Winners of the first tournament would bypass the 2nd and move straight to the 3rd.  Further advancement depends on success.  To continue in All-Stars means playing additional tournaments, possibly as much as every weekend (including sometimes on weekdays), as far as the “World Series” tournaments taking place at the end of July.  There are no additional team entry fees to play in these all-star tournaments.  Besides uniform payment, there is no additional fee required for the all-star participation.  MPB is under no obligation to financially assist families with travel or related expenses, though it will be considered if a tournament is out of Southern California.

  • Tournament Gate Fees & Other Rules

    Host leagues for All-Star Tournaments charge a gate fee usually about $5 per person per day for 12 years and older.  Under 12 are usually free entry.  Players and a certain amount of coaches are free entry.  Sometimes they will offer team entry fees instead, where the team would pay approximately $250-$350 and then every guest associated with that team pays no further entrance fee for the remainder of that tournament.  Food, drinks, coolers are not allowed inside, with the exception of a limited amount (usually one or two) of drink coolers for the players and that are to be placed in or next to the dugouts and used only for those players (and coaches).  These rules may seem unreasonable but each host league puts a lot of time, effort and money into running these tournaments and they need to make all of that money back, if not get some profit out of it for their league for their efforts.  We encourage you to use their snack bars, as it goes to a good cause and is well deserved to that league for all of the work in hosting our tournament.  

  • Additional Tournaments

    Teams may choose to play extra "warmup" tournaments.  These tournaments are paid for by the team, not by the league.  These tournaments are optional for the teams, completely at their discretion and expense.

  • Practices

    All-Star practices may start immediately (at the coaches discretion) after Closing Day and are typically more frequent than regular-season practices. It's also possible some practices will be held on Sundays before the season ends. 

  • No Play-Time Guarantee

    Your child will likely get a lot of great higher-level practice and come out of this a better player, but it’s possible he or she does a lot of sitting in the actual tournaments.  Managers are encouraged to play all players as much as possible in the All-Star tournaments, and especially in scrimmages and warmup tournaments, but it’s a very competitive environment and those details are ultimately up to the manager.  There is no minimum playing-time guarantee.

  • Dropping Out / Being Dropped

    Any player dropping out during the All-Star season may lose eligibility for MPB All-Stars in future years.  Managers may, with All-Star Committee approval, drop or otherwise discipline a player on his team for behavior or attendance reasons.  In either case, no refunds will be given.

  • CONDUCT & WAIVERS

    All-Star team players and parents are under the same parent conduct and other league-related rules as our regular season teams, players and parents are. Breaking any of those rules can result in the same consequences as breaking rules in the regular season, which includes, but not limited to, suspension or even removal from the team. Those rules also include the 'MPB Parent Pledge', the acknowledgement that photos/videos may be taken during All-Stars and that is out of MPB's control, and that any use/consumption of alcohol, vapes, smoking, drugs or any other item that is not legal for minors to use is not permitted.

  • ALL-STAR UNIFORM INFO

    If your child is selected to the team, please do NOT contact our uniform supplier at any point. This is a big inconvenience to them and only serves to delay the process of getting our uniforms completed.  We have asked them not to give out any information to anyone other than our Uniform Coordinator to help deter calls.  Your contact point would be your teams manager, and the managers contact point would be our Uniforms Coordinator.  We have had problems with this before, and that has caused us to include in this form that contacting our uniform supplier can be a reason the league to remove your child from the team, with no refunds.  Thank-you for understanding.  

  • Team/Player Announcement

    In past years we've asked parents to keep the selection private from your child so it can be a surprise as we announce our teams in front of everyone on Closing Day. We're now starting practices before Closing Day so that plan obviously doesn't work anymore. So the kids already know they're on the team, and we do post the announcement and player selections on the MPB website, but we do also make a public announcement on Closing Day, along with giving them their All-Star hats at that time. We get the players/teams out around the infield just like on Opening Day, call out the players and give them their hats. NOTE: Circumstances may cause the league to change or cancel the above plans.
