What does it mean to “play up” for All-Stars?
If you elect during the opt-in process for your child to be considered to “play up” that means that if you would like your child to be considered to play up for an All-Star team above your league age. For example, if you elect for your league age 12 year old to “play up” that means we will include your child’s name on the ballot for coaches to vote for the Juniors team.
