2025 All Star Tryouts Are February 22nd & 23rd

The Wasco All Star program has long been one of the most fun aspects of Wasco Baseball. Past players of the Wasco All Star program have great memories of playing on their respective teams and representing Wasco Baseball in tournaments all over the area.

The Wasco All Star Program offers more baseball to the players that are looking to supplement their in house experience and are not looking for full time travel.  To be eligible to tryout and make an All Star team, a player must be registered in the Wasco Spring In House league.  All Star teams practice and play on Fridays and Sundays and do not interfere with in house. Wasco Baseball has fielded very competitive teams in year’s past and we will continue that tradition in the years to come.
