It is the intent of the Magnolia Little League Board to field teams that will best represent our League in competition and character. All selection decisions regarding All-Star teams are made with Board and District approved requirements for All Stars and in compliance with Little League International rules and regulations. 

Several characteristics influence our selection process for Players and Managers for the All-Star teams:

• Attitude, hustle, team spirit, team leadership
• Overall character, integrity, and sportsmanship
• Skill-level and ability to compete

Eligibility to play in Magnolia Little League is outlined in 'Regulation II - League Boundaries' which can be found in the Little League Official Regulations, Playing Rules, and Operating Policies: 

All-Star Eligibility

All MLL players League Age 8 and up are eligible for consideration for an MLL All-Star team.  MLL can field the following All-Star teams:

• 12 year-old team consists of 12-14 players LL age 10, 11 and 12 (Majors)
• 11 year-old team consists of 12-14 players LL age 9, 10 and 11(Majors & AAA)

• 10 year-old team consists of 12-14 players LL age 8, 9 and 10 (Majors, AAA & AA)

• All-Star practice will begin in the middle of June following the MLL Tournament (baseball) and Tournament of Champions (softball), and the All-Star season will end in July (exact dates are TBD), unless the team is successful in District playoffs.  All-Stars will participate in at least one weekend long pre-tournament and local scrimmages, in addition to practice and the actual D8 Tournament.

• Playing All-Stars is a significant commitment by the player and family as rostered All-Star players must be available to participate in the D8 tournament and beyond. Players (and families of rostered players) need to be fully committed to participation in the All-Star team from early June through late July. More information on the timing of D8 tournament games may be available on the District 8 website (www.llwadistrict8.org).

• Participation in practices, scrimmages, and warm-up tournaments will require five to six days per week of baseball/softball for four to six weeks in June and July.  A player on an All-Star team is expected to attend all practices and games unless there is a compelling reason for an absence (excused absences do not include conflicts with other sports).

•  In order to be considered eligible for an MLL All-Star team, the parent or guardian must submit a completed Letter of Intent (LOI) registration (please see below).

• Please note, MLL will need an original birth certificate and proof of residence prior to the commencement of All-Star practices. For more information see link below: https://www.littleleague.org/tournament-resources/

• All-Star teams are selected using a combination of a player vote and a coach selection process.

• As to the player vote, ballots will be generated consisting of all eligible players who have offered consent (Letter of Intent) to play All-Stars. The Player Agent will then distribute these ballots to the teams in the Majors and AAA Divisions, with each player (voter) getting to vote. Majors players vote on fellow Majors players, and AAA players vote on fellow AAA players.

• After the players vote, the Head Coaches for the Majors and AAA Divisions will meet with the Player Agent, President and Head Coaches for the All-Star teams to build the rosters for each team. 

• All-Star teams are announced in early June.

The Magnolia Little League All Star Manager/Coach Selection process is designed to be objective, fair and ensure the best possible individuals are selected to lead MLL All Star teams.

• Per the Little League Rulebook, the League President appoints All-Star Managers and Coaches for each team and will bring the selections to the MLL Board of Directors for final approval.
• To assist in the process, the League President may elect to appoint an All-Star Coach Selection Committee, which may include some or all of the following members: the League President, Vice President, Player Agent, Softball Vice President, and certain Division Commissioners.
• Managers & Coaches interested in managing an All-Star team must register their intent via sending an email to the League President between May 1 and May 10. Emails should be sent to the MLL President.
• The President and/or some or all of the Selection Committee may interview each candidate in person, by phone or via email.

All-Star Manager/Coach Application Process

Managers/Coaches who would like to be considered for selection as an All-Star Manager or Coach must consider the following:

• Manager/Coach must be in good standing with Magnolia Little League and must be willing and able to fulfill the obligations required of the All-Star Manager position.
