ALL-STAR PLAYER AND COACH SELECTIONS:

ALL-STAR DISCRIPTION:
ALL-STAR Baseball, also known as Tournament Play,  is a competitive tournament based on age groups, not Little League Divisions.

The ALL-STAR player selection process will begin about halfway through the season on the part of nominations.  Parents will be contacted to determine if their players would like to be considered for ALL-STAR Play towards the end of the regular season.  Teams cannot be announced before June 1st.

If the team wins the District Tournament, they will advance to the State Tournament.  If Majors win State, then they advance to the Western Region tournament.  If the Western Region Tournament is won, they advance to the National Tournament.  The goal is to advance to play in the Little League World Series!!!!  Minors and Mid-Majors can only advance as far as State.

ALL-STAR PLAYER SELECTION:
The teams are created using our strict selection process that is designed to identify the best candidates for the team based on their performance in the season, coach and board evaluations, the players commitment to their team, and most importantly the values of Little League Baseball.  Players must also meet the strict eligibility guidelines regarding age, boundary and participation. 

Practices
This is a critical time for the team to determine player positions and to develop as a team.  Practices are usually 6 days per week and run roughly two hours.  It is amazing to watch the effort put in by these players during these two weeks.  Players will significantly improve during this short period of time!

8-9-10 ALL-STARS - Minors
The Players and Coaches are typically selected from the Minors Division, but it is not a requirement.  10 year olds that play Majors are eligible for this team. 

9-10-11 ALL-STARS - Mid Majors
RMLL may form a 9-10-11 division ALL-STAR team only if there are enough players to form the team.  

10-11-12 ALL-STARS - Majors
The Players must be selected from the Majors Division.  11/12 year old players that play in the Minors are not eligible for ALL-STAR play. This is the team that could advance to the Little League World Series.

ALL-STAR HEAD-COACH/MANAGER SELECTIONS:
The RMLL ALL-STAR Head Coach/Manager Selections are based on regular season coaches expressing interest.  From those coaches, the League President will nominate the best candidate for each level of play.  Those nominations will then be sent to the Board for a majority approval.  Being chosen as Head-Coach/Manager DOES NOT guarantee that your child will hold a spot on an All-Star team.  Assistant Coaches are then chosen by the Head-Coach/Manager; however, they MUST be approved by majority vote of the Board.  And, again, being chosen as an ALL-STAR coach DOES NOT guarantee your child a spot on the ALL-STAR Team.  Regular Season Divisional wins DOES NOT impact eligibility for ALL-STAR Coaching Positions.
