Summer is for Baseball and a major tradition in Florham Park. The Minor, Major and Junior Leagues all afford players the opportunity to play against other Towns well beyond the regular scheduled season. Your coaches will be announcing Baseball Skill Clinics, generally held on Sundays, throughout the regular season. While attendance for players interested in playing with an All Star Team is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Attendance at these sessions will give coaches the opportunity to evaluate a player's ability level and potential. This will assist the coaches in choosing players for the All Star Teams.

All Star Eligibility and Selection Policy

Eligibility and Selection:   The baseball club's goal is to place as many players on competitive summer teams as possible. The club has developed the following guidelines:   Rule: Player's will only be eligible to play summer baseball (All Stars) with their regular season league group as defined by a first year league player or a second year league player. In some cases it is possible for players to be playing a third year in the Minor and Major Leagues. That third year player is eligible for the second year team only.   Exception: A Player who was asked by the program to play up in the next league level during the regular season has an option for summer (All Star) baseball. He/She may choose eligibility to play with the first year team in the league they were asked to play in or to play with the team they would have been eligible for had they not been asked to play up a level. The option to play with their age eligible group remains with that player for as long as they play in that league. This exception does not apply to players who requested to play up at the next level.   Selection process:   * The All Star teams will be selected based upon the ranking of the players by the     League Managers after the end of season ratings are complete.   * The rankings in each League will be split into two groups:   1.  First year players   2.  Second or third year players.   * End of the season ratings will be performed in the same manner as in previous      years by the League's Managers and will take into consideration:   Performance throughout the season      Performance at clinics      Experience   Fairness is the keystone of the All-Star selection process.  All managers of the regular season teams in each eligible age group will participate by offering their own evaluation of the attributes of each player such as hitting, pitching, throwing, defense, base running, attitude and effort.  Players in each age group will be evaluated and ranked numerically by the consensus of the managers strictly based on performance during the current season.  No prejudgments will be made as to a player's desire or availability to participate.    After the players in an age group have been ranked using this procedure, the list is given to the person designated by the League Director to contact each player on the list in the exact order of ranking to extend invitations to participate until the roster limit as determined by the All-Star Team Manager(s) and Director is reached.  All-Star managers have no input to the ranking process unless they are also a regular season manager.   At the time each player is invited to join the team, the substantial time commitment and related fees will be made clear to the player's parents.  Players must be fully available from the end of regular season play through the end of the Summer All-Star program.  Parents and players must be made aware of the significant differences between summer and regular season programs (e.g., no minimum playing time, need for position flexibility, etc.) in order to avoid any misunderstandings during the season.
