2025 ALL-STAR INFORMATION:

TEAMS

There will be 3 teams formed, an 8-10 year old team, a 9-11 year old team, and a 11-12 year old team. Remember, these are tryouts, and only 12 players will be on each team, so not everyone will be chosen.  If your child is selected, the all-star coaches will place them on the team they think is appropriate. There will be a lot of factors considered for the teams; therefore, players or parents will not be able to pick what team they want to play on.  Little league age is the players age as of August 31st, 2025.

PLAYER SELECTION/TRYOUTS

All players will be required to tryout for All-Stars.  Refer to the league schedule for the tryout schedule.  If a player cannot attend tryouts, they should contact their coach immediately.  Players do not need to be nominated by his/her coach to attend tryouts, all players ages 8 thru 12 can tryout.  Prior to attending tryouts, the players parents should review the information below and assure the player can make the commitment level needed for the team.  The coaches and board members will select the best players for each team based on their league and tryout performance.    

AVAILABILITY

It’s important for us all to understand that participating in Tournament Play is a choice, and that while it is a privilege to play, it is also a commitment with added practices and games.  Teams will usually practice 4-6 days/week until the district tournament.  Players need to be available to attend practices and must be available during the actual tournaments.  They will have at least one additional practice during the regular season of play with more practices once the regular season has ended. 

Cost

All-Stars will cost $125-$150 to cover uniforms, and entry fees.  Scholarships are available (and will remain confidential).

COACH SELECTION

The SSLL board will consider applications to coach and confirm coaches for each of our teams.

TOURNAMENT TIMEFRAME 
The district tournament starts on Saturday, June 21st   It will be in Liberty Lake. Depending on the number of team participating in districts, it could last a couple weeks (skipping Hoopfest weekend) with games every few days. The game times could be in the middle of the day on weekdays.

If the all-star team wins district they will be participating in the state tournament. Right now, the state tournament for the 8-10 year olds is in Seattle and 9-11 year olds is in West Plaines/Cheney, and both start July 19^th. The 11-12 year olds state tournament starts July 12^th and is in Vancouver.

If your child would like to participate and is placed on an all-star team, they must be able to commit to the district and state tournament. If they can’t commit, they should not participate in the try-out.

ELIGIBILITY

Aside from age eligibility, which needs to be verified by birth certificate, players will also be asked to prove residency, either through a school enrollment form signed by your principal (if the school lies within our league’s boundary) or through a combination of documents.  

COMMITTMENT
In preparation for the All-Star season, we want to make sure that players and parents know what to expect. Please take the time to review these requirements with your player. Selection to the All-Star team is a significant time commitment and players are expected to attend nearly all the practices and games.
1. Players must have participated in 60% of the regular season games
2. Players must live within SSLL boundaries (see Little League Website for requirements)
3. Parents will provide proof of residency documents within 10 days of All-Star roster notification
4. Parents will provide an original government issued birth certificate within 10 days of All-Star roster notification
5. Player will attend weekend practices starting after the team is announced and daily practices after the regular season is over - typically occurring 4 to 6 days a week
6. Parents will communicate in advance of the selection process, the dates player can’t attend practice or games
7. All-Stars playing time and positions are not guaranteed beyond the minimum requirements established by Little League, which could be as little as one at bat and no time in the field
8. All-Stars may cost between $125 to $150 to cover uniforms, and entry fees. Scholarships are available (and will remain confidential)
9. District 13 tournament start dates and locations listed are subject to change.  You are expected to attend all games. 
11. If your team wins the District 13 Tournament, your commitment will be extended to participating in the State Tournament (and possibly beyond for the Majors bracket), including practices. State Tournament dates and locations listed below are subject to change. 
12. Travel and other expenses may be incurred if the team advances beyond the District 13 Tournament. Parents understand that they will be financially responsible for all travel expenses.
13. By registering your child to play on this team you certify that you will meet the listed requirements. While my All-Star Team may not advance through District, State or Regional tournaments, I agree to not schedule other activities that will interfere with my player’s ability to attend practices and games during the tournament period. If we have something planned already, we will notify the coach immediately. We also understand that being part of an All-Star team is a large commitment, with no guarantee of playing time or position. These decisions are solely at the discretion of the All-Star Manager. Some players who played most innings during the regular season, may be asked to play a different role on the All-Star team. This may include playing a different position, participating in fewer innings, and/or having less at bats. We also understand the minimum play time could be as little as 1 at bat, with no play time in the field. The All-Star player must agree to play the position the Manager assigns and to do so with a positive attitude at all times.
