That is after summer ball is in full swing hard to miss a top notch tournament for this.

Sorry but you are way off base on this one. Very few softball related things come close to matching the all-star weekend.

Horse hockey that reasoning comes right off the stable floor. Are you telling me that no other coach in the 9th or 10th region who played against this young lady did not have anything positive to say about her. Any coach who was at the selection meeting can nominate any player from another team even if that coach from her school is not there because they are either too lazy - too cheap or just don't care.

A coaches reminder " Players don't care how much you know-until they know how much you care.":taz:

 

1st bolded - I can't answer that, but I would vote for her.

 

2nd bolded - I agree 1000%, only cost $30 to be a member, I sure every coach has spent $30 on stupider stuff. It's a "head-scratcher" to me why EVERY coach doesn't join. Especially when many of these kids can make the State All-Academic Teams. This would be a very nice thing to have on one's resume.

nkysoftball -buy yourself a cigar and put it on my tab-that's putting Meatloaf in between two slices of moldy bread.:dancingpa.

she may have declined due to travelball. JMU31 can advise.

 

She was not offered, as stated no one can be selected if there coach is not a member. Again another rule that just hurts the kids. Also again does this happen in other sports? No so why is ok to happen for it to happen in softball.

I would have to take your word bc I don't know.

 

As far as this year if Maddy would have been selected I would have advised her to play bc she could have gotten out of travel ball that weekend. My guess is she would not have summer ball is what she has lived for. She didn't have a conflict with the soccer all state game but still choose not to play. Being commited makes it easier to play but if we had a big quailfier to play in no way she would have played, can't let down your whole team when one of your main goals is to get to Nationals.

That is dumb. So you are saying that if I see a kid that is clearly worthy of such honor but since she doesnt play for the school I coach at then I cant nominate her? Just doesnt seem right to me.

Not sure about that...easiest way is for your own coach to nominate you but you maybe able to nominate others as well

From my experience, coaches generally will NOT vote for kids not nominated. I say any All Region or All State team that Moran is not part of, an investigation should be done!

Here's how it works....any coach that is a member of the KSCA can nominate juniors or seniors for the all-stars. All nominees are put on to four separate lists (East Sr., East Jr., West Sr., West Jr.) showing primary position or positions and any stats that their coach may have provided. Two committees are formed, one for the west and one for the east, consisting primarily of current coaches. The East committee meets to select the two East All-Star teams and the West committee meets to select the two West All-Star teams. During the meetings there is basically an open forum for discussion about players. Generally coaches will speak and promote not only their own players but also others in the region or others that they have seen play and feel are deserving. After the open discussions, the committee votes for the players. There are usually a couple of rounds of voting with the second round basically filling the last few spots based on position needs. The key to the whole process is for coaches to be a member of the KSCA so they can nominate their players. I'm not sure if a coach can nominate a player from another school or not, but I can tell you that it just doesn't happen. Everyone expects the coaches to nominate their own players. Joining the KSCA is very inexpensive and any coach that doesn't join is only doing a disservice to their own players.
