DISTRICT 6

All Star Player Selections

  • The head coach and 1st assistant coach from each team for each league will vote and select all 12-13 players for each team.

 

  • For players with similar talent levels, preference goes to older players who applied for all-star consideration. Exceptions are evaluated when there is a lack of candidates in one age and/or there is a discrepancy in talent level. For baseball, any player who plays in the Majors division in the regular season is ineligible for the 9/10 all-star team.

 

  • If there is a “tie” at the bottom of the 12-player roster, the head coaches for the appropriate age level will go through an additional exercise of independently ranking each of the “tied” players to break the tie.

 

  • The head coach will have the option to select one additional player if he/she wants to carry 13 players.

 

  • The head coach may NOT select his/her own child as the 13th player unless there are only 13 applicants. If the head coach's child is not in the top 12, then the head coach will have the following options:
    • If, after ranking by all coaches, the head coach's child is ranked #13, the Head Coach may select their child.
    • If, after ranking by all coaches, the head coach's child is ranked below #13, AND there is a board-approved alternate head coach, the currently selected head coach would need to cede their position to the alternate. At that point, the new head coach could select any of the remaining players as #13, or remain at 12.
    • If, after ranking by all coaches, the head coach's child is ranked below #13, AND there is NOT a board-approved alternate head coach, the currently selected head coach could select #13 or remain at 12. The head coach's child would not be on the roster.
    • If, after ranking by all coaches, the head coach's child is ranked below #13, AND there is NOT a board-approved alternate head coach, AND the head coach desires to step down knowing their child will not be on the roster, the board will search to find a replacement head coach. The replacement head coach will not have a further say in the roster, as the team will have already been selected. 

     

  • If an all-star team does not have a complete roster based on total number of applicants, the head coach may ask younger all-star applicants to be moved up to an older team. The coach may ask whomever he/she chooses to ask in whatever order he/she chooses to. It is the player's/parents' decision as to whether they accept the offer.

 

  • The league will support two teams at the 9/10 (baseball and softball) level if the number of applicants support two teams and the competitive level of 2nd team is deemed appropriate for all-star-level baseball. This will be a board decision.
 
  • There is only one team for the 10/11 (baseball only) & 11/12 (baseball and softball) levels.
