We are unable to add more players for the 2025 season. Thank you for understanding. 2026 season registration will open in January.
All-Star teams for 8-12 year olds are formed at the end of the season, based on voting and input from Coaches. All-Star players participate in practices and Post-season tournaments through the end of July. In addition to All-Star teams, we offer additional tournament teams, giving many players an opportunity to continue playing baseball through the end of July!
More about the Little League All Star Tournament:
The pinnacle of Little League baseball is the Little League World Series played every August in Williamsport, PA. The LLWS is truly a world-wide event, involving 8 U.S. teams and 8 International teams. The teams that reach the LLWS consist of the top 12 year olds from a given league that have competed and won at the District, State, and Regional levels. Although only the 12 year old All-Star team can make it to the LLWS, each league selects All-Star teams at the 12, 11, 10, and 9 year old level. The 9's compete only at the district level, while the 10's and 11's compete at the district and state level. The 12 year old team that wins their district All-Star tournament, proceeds a State tournament. If they win there, they advance to a Regional tournament, and if they win that, they head to Williamsport for an incredible experience.
More about Tournament Teams:
Based on a growing demand for competitive opportunities, in 2024, players age 9, 10, and 11 who are interested in and ready for a higher level of competition and additional opportunities to play even more games can try out to join a select tournament team outside of the regular Little League season/games.
Before selecting whether you and your player are interested in being evaluated for Tournament team selection, please read the following important information:
