What parents need to know
Parents needs to know that Action AllStars
presents a virtual world geared to kids who like sports and are interested in
following professional sports teams. The site has minimal free content and a
free trial period, but the real action -- including live chat features -- is enabled
with a paid membership. Membership allows users to create a customizable
"athlete" who can collect trading cards, chat with other athletes, compete in
daily challenges, and earn gear from their favorite professional teams.
Educational value:
The site is entertaining and
its variety of games will appeal to kids who follow sports teams and enjoy
playing sports, but there's little to be learned here other than the basics of creating
an avatar, playing online games, and chatting.

The site offers a free

will really want. Members can collect trading cards and customize their avatars
and "home turf" with their favorite sports teams' gear. Members earn tokens
that allow them to "purchase" the assorted branded shirts, hats, accessories,
and other "gear" from the NBA and MLB (whose logos are prominent throughout the
site).

Great Kids Sports Site - Super Safe Too.
If your kids like the NBA, MLB and NFL, this is the site for them. I mean, how many sites have NBA Players? So cool. Also very well moderated. We go with Safe Chat Plus, anyway, but it all seems super safe and is COPPA compliant.

I give Action Allstars a two thumbs up! I love it!
Action Allstars is cool because it gives kids a chance to get along with real people so when they grow up and get a job, it won't be a problem.

Action Allstars- A great site
I think this site is a great site if your kids like online virtual worlds Like Club Penguin. This is a great game for all ages, I just love it. Even though it would be better without paying, it's still a great environment to be on. If you really like it, you can try and get your parents to buy the membership for you for Christmas or Hanukkah or your birthday or whatever is a good occasion. It's a great game for many ages to enjoy!
