Frequently Asked Questions

Why the All State Game?

Since 2004, the All State Game has provided an environment for the best athletes to be recognized and rewarded for their success in preparation, skill & sportsmanship. In addition to providing the players and families with an incredible experience, the event is notable for its charitable efforts in collecting gift cards, school supplies, and backpacks for underprivileged youth.

Where do the charity proceeds go?

The game prides itself in not charging spectator fees but rather encouraging families to bring gift cards that are donated to the local foster care programs. So far we have raised over $250 000 for at-risk youth!

How do I get nominated?

Your nomination can come from a coach, or you can request a nomination on our website by visiting www.allstategame.org/request-nomination/. If you are requesting nomination, your coach must endorse you as one of the best players on the team. You will need to provide footage that showcases your core offensive / defensive strengths.

How do I secure sponsorship?

In the past we have had a variety of different sponsors, namely local businesses (that the family supports), friends and even family members. We have had some player with multiple sponsors and others with just 1 so whichever way works for the player and their family is great. We provide you with a sponsorship form you can share with family, friends, as well as local businesses that your family supports. Click here to learn about the full sponsorship process.
