PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Select program offers advanced baseball players the opportunity to compete at a higher level while continuing to participate in the recreational season. This program is designed to provide skilled players with a more challenging experience, enhancing their development without disrupting the integrity of the primary recreational league.

It’s important to note that Select is NOT the All-Stars program. Select operates independently, and while it helps players sharpen their skills and gain valuable experience, it does not guarantee selection for an All-Star team. Additionally, participation in the Select program is not a requirement for All-Star eligibility.

Select teams have a limited commitment, with activities such as practices or games taking place only once per week. This structure allows players to enjoy a higher level of competition while maintaining their involvement in the recreational league.

PLAYER SELECTION

To be considered for the Select program, players must meet the following criteria:

• • Be registered with the league
  • Be on the active roster of a recreational league team within the relevant division

Participation in the Select program is a privilege, and final team selections are based on a comprehensive evaluation process. Selection criteria include:

• • Performance evaluations
  • Coach feedback, including aspects such as coachability
  • Player attitude and commitment level

Evaluations for the Select program may take place as early as mid-January, ahead of the Spring season, allowing teams to begin practicing and competing by early February. Alternatively, evaluations may be conducted alongside recreational league evaluations.

Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee selection. Only those players who meet the program’s standards and expectations will be invited to join a Select team.

MANAGER SELECTION

To qualify for a Select team manager position, applicants must meet the following requirements:

• • Have managed or coached at Redondo Sunset during the previous year
  • Possess a minimum of one year of experience managing or coaching at the All-Star level in any division (including roles such as dugout coach)

Qualified individuals who are interested in a Select Manager position must formally notify the Baseball Commissioner of their intent to apply.

The final selection of managers for each Select team will be subject to approval by the Executive Board.

FEES

A registration fee is required. Cost will include umpire fees, tournament fees (if applicable), practice facility fees (if applicable), and uniform.
