Schedule
All Star teams are selected in early June and announced on June 15. Practices begin immediately
thereafter. Each team will participate in a District 8 double elimination all-star tournament. The
tournaments are scheduled by District 8 and usually begin the last Saturday in June and continue through
late July. Games can be any evening during the week or anytime on a Saturday or Sunday. The District
tournament usually takes about 9 days to complete. The winning teams of each tournament advance to
the State Tournament; this is the highest level in which the 9/10 and 10/11 year-old teams advance.
Other divisions can continue to advance through the regional tournament all the way to the Little League
World Series. State tournaments run through mid-July through the end of July. Regional tournaments for
the Major Division team runs through August.

beginning June 16 (generally 6 to 7 days per week for at least 2 hours) and all games starting June 28
through the July 31 (9/10 and 10/11 year-old teams) and through August 31 for Major Division team.
While may All Star Team may not advance through District to State or Regional tournaments, I agree not
