Select

The Select program was developed by USA Softball with the intent to allow girls to practice and play games together in a competitive environment. USA Softball offers a Spring program where players can practice and play in tournaments in a Sunday’s only format with a competitive team as an addition to their regular recreation team. 

Our Select Program provides opportunities designed to expand our player’s skills and allow girls to play at a competitive level throughout the spring recreational season. We encourage players who aspire for a higher level of play, who enjoy the sport, are interested in improving their skills, and who are dedicated to participating in the program to come to evaluations.

Select teams are for 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U Divisions and players are chosen through an evaluation process. The final number of players on each team or teams will be determined based on interest and results of the evaluation

The EGSL Select Program Does:

  • Focus on skills development in preparation for championship level play.
  • Provide opportunities to play other select teams in a “friendly format” or through tournament play based upon team skill and readiness. 
  • Focus on position development based on the player's skill level.
  • Challenges players to be the best at the position for which they exhibit the strongest skills.
  • Allows EGSL the opportunity to further develop cohesive core groups of players, participating in year-round programs, with the goal being that they will be ready to compete at a higher level of play such as Allstars. 

The EGSL Select Program Does Not:

  • Determine the All Star teams. Although the players will benefit from the advanced level of play and skills training, participation in the Select program is not a guarantee that all players will be selected for the All Star teams.
  • Prevent players who do not play on the Select team from trying out or making an Allstar team. Does not include travel ball players. Any player who participates in any game, practice or workout involving a travel ball team will not be allowed to participate in the Select program. Travel ball players are not eligible for select teams as per USA Softball. 
  • Involve paid coaches. Our recreational and competitive programs rely on assistance from our parents and volunteers.
