All Star Selection Process

Menlo Atherton Little League
All Star Selection Process

All Star teams are selected for post season play at the 9-10 All Stars, Majors, Juniors, and Seniors levels. Only players of league age, 9 and 10 playing AAA or Majors are eligible for the 9-10 All Star team and only 11 and 12 year olds are eligible for the Majors All Star team. In addition, only players of league age 13 are eligible for the Juniors All Star team, and only players of league age 14 and 15 are eligible for the Seniors All Star team. Player ages must be verified by a birth certificate and their place of residence confirmed before the team roster is submitted to Little League headquarters. Tournament play commences at the District level in July, with winners advancing through section, state, division, and regional play to qualify for the World Series in mid to late August.

Each All Star team is limited to one manager and two coaches during tournament play. All Star managers and coaches will be selected by the President of the Board of Directors at each level based on the following criteria: leadership skills and presence, the knowledge of baseball, a demonstrated ability to interact and motivate players in a positive manner, general attitude and behavior throughout the season, and season record. The Board reserves the right to replace any manager or coach that they deem unacceptable as a representative of the League in All Star play.
Twelve players and possibly two alternates are selected for each All Star team two weeks before tournament play begins (LL Rules prohibit selection announcements before mid-June). Each All Star team is selected from among the teams within each level on the basis of playing ability, knowledge of the game, sportsmanship, and availability. Not every regular season team needs to be represented on the All Star Team(s). Rules and procedures for selecting the All Star Teams are as follows:

1. Each manager may nominate as many players as he/she wishes from his /her team to help develop an initial list. No other names may be added to the list once the list has been constituted. Each manager then recommends 10 players from the list, excluding players who they originally nominated from their own teams.
2. The League may solicit the input from players within the Majors division by vote. This player vote is only advisory.
3. The Commissioner, the Player's Representative and the President of the Board of Directors will consider all of the above recommendations when making the final selection for each of the All Star teams.
4. The final two players of each All Star team are recommended by the All Star Manager from the remaining top players.
5. All Star player selections may be subject to a tryout before final selections are confirmed.
