We are in the final half of the season, which means All-Stars is right around the corner!
Overview
Little League All Stars is an opportunity for players to play on another team, meet new friends, represent their community and experience what is typically an organized and well-run tournament. Participating in and of itself is a rewarding experience. There is a nominal registration fee of $130 for participating on an All-Star team to cover the uniform, photos, etc. The Little League All-Star Tournament is an exciting and memorable experience and opportunities exist for many ages.
Participants of the following league ages are considered eligible for the specified teams:
- Junior Division – All ages who played Juniors for ONLL
- Intermediate Division – All 12 and 13 year-olds who played in the ONLL Intermediate and Major Divisions
- Little League Division – All 11 and 12 year-olds who played in the ONLL Intermediate and Major Divisions
- 10-11 year old Division – All 10 and 11 year-olds who played in ONLL AAA and Major Divisions
- 8, 9 & 10 year old Division – All 9 and 10 year-olds who played in the ONLL AAA and Major Divisions
Players, managers and coaches are selected for the team in accordance with ONLL By-Laws. Unlike regular season play, not all players who sign up will be placed on a team. Team selection is created based upon player ability during regular season play, and their All Star team may not be the same 'level' as their regular season team. All interested and eligible players must submit an All Star Commitment Form which is linked below tournament player verification form. Submitting the form does not assure you a position on one of the teams; it simply lets us know that you wish to be considered and will commit to being available for practices and games throughout the All-Star season.
Schedule
All-Star teams are selected and announced in May. Practices begin after May 22. Each team will participate in a District 70 double elimination All-Star tournament which is scheduled by District 70. The first series runs June 17 - June 23. Teams that win District 70 move on to play throughout July, and can advance through August. Games can be any evening during the week or anytime on a Saturday and/or Sunday. Each District tournament usually takes about 9 days to complete. The winning teams of each tournament advance to the State Tournament; this is the highest level in which the 9/10 and 10/11 year-old teams advance. Other divisions can continue to advance through the regional tournament all the way to the Little League World Series. State tournaments run mid-July through the end of July. Regional tournaments for the Major Division team runs through August.
Qualities of an All Star
All Star players exhibit the following qualities:
- Exemplifies good sportsmanship and team spirit when winning or losing
- Demonstrates the highest and most consistent ability to execute the fundamental skills of the game
- Demonstrates commitment to an intensive schedule of practice and games throughout the entire tournament period
- Often skilled at more than one position
All participants must reside in or have a School of Choice waiver within the boundaries of ONLL and have played in at least 60% of the regular season games where they are eligible. For players selected for a team, Residency Documentation days will be held at the snack bar later in May. Players must bring a copy of their certified birth certificate, as well as copies of their residency or school proof as detailed in the attached, along with the registration fee (cash, check or card accepted). Players that do not provide full documentation on the two document days will not be able to play.
