2024/2025 WINTER ALL-STAR TOURNAMENTS
The winter all star season consists of tournaments throughout Area Q starting in late December and continuing on until mid-February. Teams are formed in mid-November with practices starting in early December. Each weekend will have a tournament consisting of 3 matches minimum and 2-3 refereeing assignments per team.
Each All-Star team is responsible for providing three (3) qualified referees (one center and two assistant referees). Parents or other adults associated with a player must referee during the regular fall season to gain experience to become the referee our players deserve. All referees are required to have Regional Referee Administrator approval to participate.
Each 12U team is required to provide an Intermediate Ref as part of their crew. 14U teams must have three (3) Intermediate Refs. 10U teams require Regional Referees for their crews. All referees must cover a minimum of ten (10) regular season games and are subject to approval by the RRA.
Winter All Stars is a fast-paced season, where the players get a significant amount of playing time in a short time-frame.
