WHAT IS ALL STARS:
The Little League All Stars Tournament is a competitive post-season competition where All Stars teams from each league compete for a District Championship, with winners advancing to the State Tournament. The 10U and 11U tournaments culminate at the State Level, while the Little League, Little League Intermediate (50/70) Baseball, Junior League, and Senior League divisions all conclude at a World Series Tournament. Most recently, the 10U All Star Team won both the District Tournament and the State Tournament in 2025!
WHO IS SELECTED FOR ALL STARS:
Player selection is based on multiple factors. While selecting the most skilled and advanced players is the highest priority, factors such as sportsmanship, integrity, and respect are also be taken into consideration.
TIME COMMITMENT:
The All Stars program requires a significant commitment from players' families. Participating in All Stars is a choice. While it is a privilege to be selected, it is also a commitment with added practices and games and potential for travel and out of pocket costs. Practice dates and times are up to coaches, but teams can expect to practice 3-6 times per week. Parents of interested players should plan accordingly and avoid scheduling vacations from June through July, as vacations may affect their selection.

BASIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Players must play in 8 regular season games by the start of Tournament Play. Players must live within ALL boundaries or have a pre-approved waiver to play All Stars on file. Players must apply and be voted onto the team by the regular season managers.
HOW ARE ALL STAR PLAYERS SELECTED:
In late April, parents of players in Minors AAA and above will receive an All-Stars information email. Interested players will submit an application to the All-Stars Coordinator. Managers will be provided a list of all applicants so they can observe players' skill level at games in late April and early May.
Mangers will meet in May to discuss the applicants' skill level, attitude, and sportsmanship. During the discussion, managers are expected to be honest and unbiased so the most qualified players are selected to represent Academy Little League. Each manager will vote on the applicants. This process will ensure that each Manager has a say in determining which 12 players will represent Academy Little League on each team. The discussion/vote will be moderated by the All-Stars Coordinator, Player Agent and/or President.
HOW IS THE COACH SELECTED FOR ALL-STARS:
An All-Stars Coach application will be sent to all Managers, AAA and above. Interested Coaches will submit an application. The Board of Directors will meet to select the Managers for each All-Star team. The All-Stars Managers will NOT be named until after the players are selected for the team, at the conclusion of the selection meeting. This process will help ensure a fair and unbiased selection of the most qualified players for each team. (The exception is if there is only one applicant for a specific team, the manager can be named.)
