About the Program:
The PSR Elite All-Star Program seeks to identify, train, and provide competitive opportunities to the top players in our region. The All-Star Program replaces the Region High Performance program. The program consists of an identification tryout held in conjunction with the regional championship event. Selected athletes will be invited to participate in a two-day camp, which will be held at a central location within the region in early June. Camp attendees will be training with a collection of the best athletes from the Puget Sound Region in the same birth year. Each athlete is competing for a spot on one of the travel teams which will represent the Puget Sound Region at the All-Star Championship Tournament in July.
