2021 Alliance All-Star Game

The National Team defeated the American Team in a 10-9 shootout on national television. All-Star athletes were greeted with Red Carpet treatment by Under Armour with player swag bags full of Under Armour apparel and footwear. The game saw four home runs off the new Louisville Slugger Meta, the Official Bat of the All-Star Game, by Baylea Brandon (LSU), Bri Ellis (Auburn), Cydney Sanders (ASU) and McKenna Gibson (Tennessee).
The All-Star Coaching Staff in 2021 consisted of current Oklahoma Sooners Jocelyn Alo and Jayda Coleman, current Alabama Pitcher Montana Fouts, recent LSU graduate Aliyah Andrews, current Team USA members Hannah Flippen and Keilani Ricketts, and former Oklahoma All American Amber Flores.
2022 All-Star Selection Process:
The All-Star athlete selection process begins with the announcement of the 2022 All-Star Watch List. This list was developed by OnDeck Softball co-founder Derek Allister with the assistance of Alliance League leadership. The Watch List was divided by the Alliance League each athlete represents. Coaches are allowed to nominate deserving seniors during the two-week open period following the release of the Watch List. Email player nominations to Derek Allister at info@ondecksoftball.net
*Watch List selection is open to all high school senior softball players. Athletes do not have to be on an Alliance registered team to be considered for a Regional or All-Star Team.
