All-Stars Information


Welcome to All-Stars! 

Here you will find information on the post-season tournament, known as All Stars.

The Little League Baseball and Softball World Series are international tournaments held by Little League. Since 1947, the baseball tournament has been held annually in August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania and broadcast nationally on ESPN.

To qualify for the Little League World Series, teams from local Little Leagues across the world begin competition at the District level. Winning teams advance to the state and regional levels, before qualifying for the World Series.

Subject to manager, coach, and player availability, LGLL may apply for the following All Star teams:

*Age 8, 9 and 10 Year Old Baseball and Softball
*Age 9, 10 and 11 Year Old Baseball and Softball
*Age 10, 11 and 12 Year Old Baseball and Softball
*Age 11, 12 and 13 Year Old Baseball Intermediate (50/70)
*Age 12, 13 and 14 Year Old Baseball and Softball Junior 

Basics:
The tournaments start at the District level, and teams must win their way to advance through the International Tournament. The 8- to 10-Year-Old and 9- to 11-Year-Old Tournaments culminate at the State Level, while the Little League, Little League Intermediate (50/70) Baseball, Junior League, and Senior League divisions all conclude at a World Series Tournament.

Players:
In all divisions, any eligible player who has participated in 60 percent of the regular season games by the start of Tournament Play in their respective district is eligible to play. All players who meet all residency/school, age, and participation eligibility requirements  can be nominated for All-Stars.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does it mean to “play up” for All-Stars?
If you elect during the tryout registration process for your child to be considered to “play up” that means that if you would like your child to be considered to play up for an All-Star team above your league age. For example, if you elect for your league age 12 year old to “play up” that means we will include your child’s name on the tryout list for coaches to vote for the Juniors team. During registration this would be selecting minors & majors if available or majors & Jrs if available. 

If my child is selected for the All-Stars team, what can we expect (practices and games)?
All-Star teams practice at least 5 nights a week with practice length times varying. There may also be some pre-tournament scrimmages in and outside of La Grande and possibly Oregon. 
 
How much play time will my child get on the All-Stars team? 
Tournament Play rules and expectations are different from regular season play. Not all players will receive equal playing time, many times a player will get only one at-bat and no field playing time in a game.

How many players are selected for each team?
This will vary depending on the manager based on tournament playing rules. Typically, most managers field a team of 13 players.

Do the Jamboree games count towards the 8-game minimum for player eligibility?
Only regular season regulation games count towards the 8-game minimum. The Jamboree games do not quality.

If my family already has a vacation planned during June thru July, how would that affect All-Stars eligibility?
If you already have vacation planned during this time, we recommend you do not submit your child’s name for consideration. The All-Star team is a huge time commitment and players are expected to be at all practices and games.

What will happen if there aren't sufficient player opt-ins?
If we don’t have enough players to field a team at various levels, then we can’t field a team.

COMMITMENT

It is an honor to be selected as a member of an All-Star team!

There is also a substantial commitment of time and effort required to participate. Teams typically practice multiple times per week beginning the first or second week of June. The number of practices and scrimmages vary by team, but four to six afternoon, evening, or weekend practices or scrimmages a week is common.

All-Stars ends whenever tournament competition ends. The district tournaments usually begin the last week of June or first half of July. The district tournaments may end as late as mid-July. Teams that win their district tournament advance to their respective Oregon state tournaments, which may occur in mid to late July. Most tournaments are double elimination. This means that teams will play until losing twice. The goal for teams is to progress as far into tournament play as possible.

Players must make best efforts to attend all practices and scrimmages during the All Star season. Players must be available for all games until their team is eliminated from tournament play.
