All Star Info.

                                                    Welcome to the 2019 All Star Program at East Lake Little League

Eligibility: AAA Minors, Majors and Intermediate players who have participated in 60% of the regular season games are eligible to have their name on the All-Star team ballot for the team(s) based on League age. In order to be eligible, all players must also be available during the entire practice schedule, as well as tournament games! There are NO exceptions (medical or family emergencies do not apply). Practice will begin on the date of the announcement (June 1st) or the next day. Games will begin approximately 2 weeks after the announcement date. Teams that advance can play through July and possibly later. The schedule will be established by District 12 at the beginning of June. The expectation is that every player will attend each game and practice.

NOTE: If a child gets selected to a team and the paren/guardian decides to remove the child from All-Stars for any reason, once uniforms are ordered, the parent/guardian will forfeit the registration fee of $150.

Parent/Guardian Responsibility: The All-Star Tournament team is a separate opportunity for players to continue playing baseball after the regular Little League season is completed. The registration fee for All-Stars is $150.  This fee covers the costs of a team registration fee, insurance, full uniform, all-star books, and pins.  Parents/Guardians are responsible for any and all additional expenses incurred, which may include personal equipment, additional uniform elements, photos, team party, etc. Parents/Guardians are responsible for all transportation to and from team practices and games.  Some mileage and lodging reimbursement for Regional play and above will be provided.  Parents/Guardians will be responsible for choosing correct uniform sizes.

Tournament Team Playing Time and Positions: Tournament rules are different than the ELLL regular season. For example: tournament play based on 12 players on a team, the minimum play rule is: Every player on the team roster shall participate in each game for a minimum of six consecutive outs on defense and bat at least one time. Minimum play for teams of 13 players is one at bat per game. Playing time exceeding these minimums is not required.  This requirement does vary based on how many players are on a team, but please note the difference between all-stars and regular season requirements.  All-Star competition is extremely competitive.  Also, it is at the manager’s discretion as to what position the player is placed.  The manager must field the best team and thus a player may be placed in a position he/she usually does not play during regular season.


FAQ's
All registrations must be received by midnight on Saturday, April 28th and voting will take place between May 1st and May 8th.

Why is there a fee for All Stars?  
The $150 fee goes towards uniforms which include game jersey/pants/socks/belt/hats and a practice jerseys.  The All Star uniforms are of very high quality and must be ordered as soon as the team has been selected, but before the team is announced. 


With your $150 fee your All Star will receive, 
* Hat 
* Game Jersey
* Pants 
* Socks/Belt, 
* 2 Practice Shirts

Our Little League attempts to provide the highest quality, best looking uniforms we possibly can while still keeping the fee low.  We not only want them to look great but also last so your All Star can wear them with pride for years to come.  The fee that you're paying consists of the actual costs incurred by the league to purchase and build the uniforms plus the costs of chartering All Star teams with Little League International.
 

What are the dates of All Stars?
 We can only give estimated dates of All Stars because it all depends on how far you advance.  But in general, team announcements will be made on or around June 1st.  Practice will last approximately 2 weeks and begin immediately after announcements.  Games typically begin middle to end of June.  As soon as District 12 gives us a set of dates, then we'll pass it along.
 
How are players selected?  The players and the coaches vote on the All Star team.  Every player and coach will get a ballot that they will complete under the supervision of a league representative from May 1st to May 8th. 
 
What documentation will I need to provide?  If your player is selected to a team, you will need to provide 3 forms of proof of residency and a certified copy of the birth certificate.  If you have played All Stars before, then we have your birth certificate on file and you won't have to submit it again.
 
My kids might have a summer activity or family vacation that could interfere.  Should I still register?  This is probably the biggest question/issue we face every year.  If you're not sure, then please contact us.  Every situation is unique and we'll help you think it through.  The last thing we want is for someone to miss out on All Stars because of something we can potentially work around.  So please contact us at [email protected] or talk with a board member.
