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

• Statement of Player Commitment, submitted by the player and guardian/parent, indicating an interest and commitment to attendance and local travel for tournament play.  
• Player’s good standing with respect to minimum number of Little League games played  (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 softball manager. 
  • Observations of other managers whose teams played against the player
• Verification of age and residence by District 9 Little League for the applicable age division. 

Please Note:  Depending on the number of available and committed players at each level, Kirkland American Little League Softball may or may not field a team at a particular age level. 

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 daughter’s selection, or non-selection, to an All Star team is entirely dependent on the relative strengths and abilities of the girls 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. 

VERIFICATION OF AGE AND RESIDENCY

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.  

ANNOUNCEMENT OF ALL STAR TEAMS

All Star team rosters will be announced sometime around mid-May.  Rosters of selected players will be posted on our website and announced on our home page soon as possible.
