Overview of the All Star Teams, Tournament, and Commitment
Eligible players must have participated in at least 60% of their regular season team’s games. Our Local Rules
and Policies, located in the Downloads section of RLLL’s website, explain the selection process for All Stars.

12U Softball All Stars– Any Softball player league age 11 or 12 is a possible candidate.
Junior Softball All Stars– Any Softball player league age 13 or 14 is a possible candidate.
Player eligibility will be verified and must be proven to District personnel in order to qualify for the team (i.e.
residence/school attendance and age eligibility in particular). Parent commitment is not limited to any one level.
While it is a great honor to be a member of an All Star team, there is also a substantial commitment of time,
effort, travel and finances required in order to participate. The All Star season ends whenever tournament
competition ends. The goal is for teams to progress as far into tournament play as possible, deploying players and
strategy to accomplish this goal by using the Manager’s discretion and experience. Parents/guardians shall
support all decisions and strategies set forth by the All Star Manager/Coaches. For the 9, 10 and 11year old
competitions, tournament play could continue through the completion of the California State Tournament in lateJuly. For 12 year old and Junior competitions, tournament play could continue through mid-August when the
World Series takes place (Major in Williamsport, PA; Junior in Taylor, MI; Senior in Bangor, ME).
The All Star time commitment consists of several practices a week for up to three hours beginning around June
12th and then participation in the District 6 All Star tournaments beginning about June 19th. Winners will
advance as noted above. Players are expected to attend ALL team practices and social activities. All positions on
the team and in the lineup are earned based on the Manager’s evaluation. Per Little League rules the minimum
play time for a team with 13 players is 1 at-bat, and no defensive outs. Significant player/manager/coach activity
conflicts during the All Star practice and tournament period should be brought to the League President before the
All Star season begins.
The league will provide each player/manager/coach with at least a uniform jersey and a hat.
It should be clearly understood that acceptance of this commitment is required to participate in RLLL’s All Star
program.
