What is Little League All-Stars?

Emmett Little League (ELL) provides boys and girls the opportunity to participate in Little League sanctioned All-Star Tournaments following the completion of the regular Little League season. These are highly competitive tournaments, which proves a great learning experience for every player, parent and coach involved. The Little League All-Star experience gives players the opportunity to improve upon their baseball skills by continuing play in tournaments, against players with higher skill levels. It is considered an HONOR to represent your league, ELL, as an All-Star.

Emmett Little League All-Star Teams must meet and follow all rules and guidelines provided by the National Little League Organization and those adopted by Emmett Little League. The intent is to select the best team and manager to represent Emmett Little League and our community in district level and beyond tournaments.

Player Nominations

Those interested in All-Stars will need to tryout for the All-Star team, tryouts will be announced at a later date in the regular season. If selected to an All-Star Team, player commitment is essential. Full commitment and participation during the duration of the All-Star Season is MANDATORY. This includes (but is not limited to) attending all scheduled practices/games and participating in field work days.

Managers selected to coach the All-Star teams will draft a team following tryouts. Below are attributes key to making the All-Star Teams:

ATTITUDE – Managers will nominate players who demonstrate a positive attitude. They are respectful of fellow players, managers/coaches, parents and umpires. They demonstrate good sportsmanship skills.
ABILITY – Managers will nominate players who demonstrate a high level of baseball skills. This must be observed during practices, games, and league tournaments. Managers should use data obtained (via stats and/or scorebook) throughout the season, to support their nominations.
AVAILABILITY – Players must be able to meet the time commitments and obligations required of All-Stars.

Player selection will remain confidential between the managers and the Board of Directors.

Tentative dates for the District All Star Tournament: July 6th - July 19th, be sure to keep your calendar clear if interested.
