Open:  All-Star applications open on Sunday, May 15, 2022

Deadline:  To be considered for all-stars, players must be registered by 11:59 pm on Friday, May 27, 2022

All-Stars is an incredible opportunity to extend the playing season and play at a higher level, but it is also a big commitment.  Most teams practice every day.  If a team wins the District 9 Tournament then the journey continues to the State Tournament. For Majors and Juniors there is the potential to go all the way to the Softball World Series. 

The District 9 tournament always approaches quickly so most teams will practice in while LWSD is still in session. Notice-- for example--that both the Majors and Juniors tournaments start during the last week of school. 

For families new to Little League, All-Stars can be a lifestyle changer. That annual vacation might conflict with the tournament dates, and there’s obviously no guarantee that our teams will progress beyond the District 9 tournament (although our teams are usually competitive). We have to honor Little League and the game of softball by being able to field teams until they are eliminated, so keep these dates in mind when evaluating your All-Stars commitment. 

Players are selected to All-Stars by the Tournament Team Committee, consisting of the Managers of the applicable age divisions of Redmond Softball, the VP of Softball, and the Player Agent.  The following are criteria for participation in All-Stars: 

• Statement of Player Commitment, must submitted by the player and guardian/parent indicating an interest and commitment to attendance and local travel for tournament play.  To be considered for all-stars, player commitment statements must be submitted before the deadline posted above. 
• Player’s good standing with respect to minimum number of Little League games played in the current season (teams must play 12 or more games, and of the games played by the team, the player must attend at least 60% of the games). 
• Evaluation of the skills and abilities of each player who submits a Statement of Player Commitment, via the following: 
  • Observations of the player’s current softball manager. 
  • Observations of other managers whose teams played against the player in the current season.
  • All Stars tryout session [date TBD, usually first of June]. 
• Verification of age and residence by District 9 Little League (post-selection, pre-tournament) for the applicable age division. 

Please Note:  Depending on the number of available and committed players at each level, Redmond Softball may or may not field a team at a particular age level.  Also, players should plan to play All Stars in the same level in which they played the regular season.

Please also keep in mind that many good players submit Statements of Player Commitment each year who are not ultimately selected to All-Stars.  Your player’s selection, or non-selection, to an All-Star team is entirely dependent on the relative strengths and abilities of the players her age who submit Statements of Player Commitment, as determined by the Tournament Team Committee.  Not getting selected for All-Stars does not reflect how our coaches feel about your player as a person, or how much of an effort your player has put in to improve, and should not take away from what we hope has been a fun experience in the regular season. 

All-Star team rosters will be announced on or after June 1.  Rosters of selected players will be posted on our website and announced on our home page soon as possible. 

If your player is selected for All-Stars, you will need to be prepared to submit proof of age and residency in order for her to participate on the team.   

Little League International rules require that players provide proof of age and residence.

For proof of age, players who have been selected to an all-star team must provide an ORIGINAL birth certificate. It will be returned to you, but the ORIGINAL must be verified by District 9 staff.

For proof of residency, the easiest proof is if your child’s school is also within the league boundaries.  All that is required is a completed School Enrollment Form, available at http://www.littleleague.org/assets/forms_pubs/School-Enrollment-Form.pdf.  Otherwise multiple documents are required, and they have to be dated, or in force from the period between February 1 of last year and February 1 of this year.
