The Lubbock Soccer Association offers players an opportunity to play at a purely recreational level and also the opportunity for players to compete for all positions at all levels of youth play offered by North Texas State Soccer Association, United States Youth Soccer Association, and United States Soccer.

7.2. ALL-STAR TEAMS
      The Lubbock Soccer Association has chosen to make all-star teams the vehicle for
      players who wish to play soccer in a more competitive environment. All-star teams
      may be formed in the Under-12, Under-14, Under-16, and Under-19 Leagues.

      Every player legally eligible to participate in these Leagues is invited to attend
      practices for the all-star team for their own age group and to compete for positions on
      the all-star teams. Participation with an all-star team requires a greater commitment
      from the player (to develop his own skills to a higher level) and from the player’s
      family to support the player with frequent travel throughout the region.

      The Association may form as many all-star teams in each League as there are
      players interested in playing on those teams. Every player who shows a sincere
      interest in playing soccer at this level will be given the opportunity to play on these
      all-star teams. Players are selected to play on the all-star teams based on the
      player’s demonstrated individual and team skills. Players will, therefore, be on all-star
      teams with other players having approximately the same skill levels. As players skills
      develop, they may move up from a less-skilled all-star team to a more-skilled team.

      All-star teams may compete in the open division of any restricted sanctioned youth
      tournament throughout the United States. New all-star teams will be formed
      (rostered) for each individual tournament.
