FCABSA fields Softball All-Star teams at 8U, 10U, 12U, and 15U as participation allows. Teams typically compete in tournaments from June through July and train throughout the offseason. Depending on age group, teams may also participate in spring or fall leagues.
Eligibility Requirements
To try out for an FCABSA All-Star team, players must:
Be residents of Fox Chapel Area School District (FCASD), AND
Participate in either a spring OR fall FCABSA recreational (rec) season.
Note: Players are assigned to the appropriate age group (8U, 10U, etc.) for tryouts and team selection based on birthdate. Players may only be rostered on one All-Star team (no double rostering across age groups).
What to Expect at Tryouts
Players will be evaluated on hitting, fielding, throwing, running, pitching, catching, and other softball skills. You must attend the tryout to be selected. FCABSA age level directors and coaches will serve as evaluators. If you are unable to tryout at the assigned date and time, please contact the board to make other arrangements.
