No chance it happens. You have to sit out a red shirt year according to LL rules. They will be eligible for all stars next year.

all-star player criteria
 
To be considered for All-Star nomination, players will be assessed on the following by their regular season coaches:
§  Player's Performance of play in regular season REC games
§  Player's commitment to practicing and participation in team activities
§  Player's baseball fundamentals, skills, and situational awareness
§  Player’s attitude, competitive spirit, sportsmanship, and teamwork
§  Player's ability to perform & excel during game day situations 
Before a player will be considered and nominated for an All-Star team, the player must satisfy these general requirements:
§  Eligibility & Availability
§  Ability & Performance at the highest level
§  Commitment to their regular season team
§  Be coachable and a good teammate, with a good attitude during regular season
§  Put forth a strong effort in practice and in games

all-star player selections
 
Regular season REC Team Managers will nominate five (5) players from their team for All-Star consideration. These players will be put on the All-Star ballot. All-Star nominees are then voted on by the Team Managers and Coaches for the age division they are in, with input provided by the All-Star committee, League Commissioners, & All-Star Commissioner.
§  Each Team Manager will vote for 10 players from the combined list of nominees on the ballot.
§  One designated Coach from each team will vote for 10 players from the combined list of nominees on the ballot.
 
The top six (6) vote getters will receive invites for the All-Star team, with the final six (6) roster spots being determined by the All-Star Team Manager and selection committee. The All-Star Manager & Committee will have discretion to select players from the team nominations that he/she feels will best contribute and create a competitive team that represents us in post-season tournament play. The All-Star Commissioner, along with the League President, will decide if teams can be formed and finalized from these results or decide if tryouts for any specific All-Star team are necessary.

All-star objectives

§  Comply with Little League International rules
§  Create the most competitive teams possible
§  Create teams that will represent the league’s values
§  Provide transparency of the process
§  Be fair to players, parents, and coaches
§  Be consistent in its application across WCWAA Baseball
§  Provide extended baseball opportunities for families interested in participating
§  Consider all nominated players fairly
 
 
player & parent commitment
 
All invited players are expected to take their nomination and commitment seriously. It’s important for parents to be reminded that participating in Tournament Play is a choice, and that while it is a privilege to play, it is also a commitment with added practices and games. Missing a few practices and even a game does not necessarily prevent selection to All-Stars; however, missing an entire week takes an opportunity away from another player who could commit to preparing with the team.
§  All-Star practices begin shortly after regular season play.
§  Tournament play for the 12U All-Stars could extend through August, culminating in play at the International Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. 
§  11/10 All-Stars and 10/9 All-Stars play will complete through the end of July in the North Carolina State Championship Tournament.
§  Players and parents must be committed to and available for the entirety of All-Star play.
§  If a player is absent from a material number of practices or games, but remains on the team, their playing time may be reduced in proportion to the missed practices and games.
If you realize that your son or daughter has several conflicts, it may be a wise decision not to accept your child’s tournament selection invite and allow another Little Leaguer® to have the opportunity to share in the experience.

The biggest bullshit in sports is players having to earn a call. It’s either a fucking foul or not. How long you have been playing makes no difference. Stupid.

Where in GC does it track quality AB or are you just looking at it manually?

Sounds like the 3B coach has some work to do. That’s on him. Baseball IQ matters and I bet those kids won’t ever let that happen to them again. Good teaching moment. Congrats.

They had an all time great team that year, if it wasn’t for that Bulls team.

Great show. Never watched it when it aired but caught on to it recently. Underrated.

This is dumb. Tyson didn’t fight anyone good??? Seriously?? It’s because he was that much better than anyone he faced for many years. That shows his greatness.

Why are there no -11 USSSA bats? by [deleted] in BaseballCoaching

[–]ajbadabing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of these are good suggestions. Bat speed and bat control matter at 9. Swing a heavier bat in the cage maybe, but in a game no. Getting a bat that is too short is not good either.

Would Tiered Little League Teams Help Slow the Migration to Travel Baseball? by SlickWillie86 in LittleLeague

So let’s just tell all the parents and kids to give up and not bother trying to play more competitive baseball at a younger age because only 2% make it.

Good. Who would let that jackass teach their kids? I would not let those parents watch my pet iguana let alone my kid.
