While regular season focuses on player development and fun, All Stars is an opportunity for skilled players to compete at a higher level.
Players are selected based on various criteria including skill, attitude, commitment and hustle. Team managers and coaches evaluate their players using a Player Evaluation form

Players are evaluated on multiple criteria and then the Board of Directors ultimately decides who makes the team and who coaches. We look for the best players and coaches to represent the league against other communities. When our league travels to play we want our community to demonstrate the values of Little League with good sportsmanship and a commitment to following the rules of the game, while respecting the kids and adults that make it all happen. Winning alone is not the goal, winning with class and outstanding character is the best measure of success.
All Star players join a team during the summer months to compete at the District, sectional, state, regional and even world wide competition at the Little League World Series.
There is an additional fee to help cover part of the uniform cost and field rental costs, tournament fees, etc. We raise funds to help supplement the costs and keep the fees affordable.
All Star district tournaments start Father's Day weekend and end just after July 4th weekend, followed by sectionals, state, regionals and beyond.
