Spring Select 2024

SPRING 2024 SELECT - AGES 8U TO 14U

In Spring, all players must play on a recreational team. For girls who are looking for additional competitive play, select teams may be a fun way to get in extra games for your passionate player.

A Spring Select Team is a collaboration of TGS players from all recreation teams who are interested in playing at a more competitive level against other Select teams from leagues all over Orange County and surrounding counties. Select games are double headers played on Sundays.

**It is important to note, playing select means your child will play one weekday rec game, one Saturday rec game, and Sunday double header Select games.**

The extra costs associated with Select are:
- $50 - $60 to cover the cost of a Select jersey and socks
- $5 per player every game-day for umpire costs
- Potential tournament cost could be approximately $50 per player
Players must try out for the team and be selected. Player interest does not guarantee selection. Players will be notified within three days of the try-out.
Select teams are not all-star teams. Playing Select does not guarantee a position on an all-star roster.
Select players may not play travel ball concurrently.

USA Softball employs strict rules surrounding Select play that govern eligibility for All-Star play.

Typical "Yellow Book" rules (2024 rules will be finalized around December 15, 2023):

The Spring Select team plays doubleheader “friendlies” on Sundays through April 7, 2024
Players who participate on a Select team, must also play on a recreational team and attend 75% of their recreation games or they will become ineligible for All-Stars.
Teams are only allowed to meet for practices or games one time per week on Sundays.
Players must play Select in the age division they intend to play All-Stars in.
A player who plays on any team other than their TGS Rec team after April 7, 2024 is ineligible for All-Stars.
All players must be registered with TGS prior to April 1, 2024 to be eligible for all All-Stars.
