2025 LITTLE LEAGUE TOURNAMENT TEAM (“ALL-STARS”) INFORMATION
Carthage Little League enters “All-Star” teams in the annual Little League International tournaments to compete against other Little Leagues within their respective age divisions. It is a fun way for select players to continue their season and obtain further coaching and baseball instruction. There is a $25 additional fee required for your child to participate. (Carthage covers the uniform cost, and parents cover the cost of the fitted hat.)
The Little League Tournament is operated completely by Little league International and local league rule modifications will not apply. “Rules for Tournament Play” can be found in the Little League Rulebook, available on the Little League Website or on the LL Rulebook mobile app.
Carthage Little League will field an All-Star team for 12U (Majors), 11U, 10U 9U and 8U. Our League’s priority is to field the most competitive team possible for each age group.
Because there are likely to be more applicants than available spots, applicants are not guaranteed to be selected. Applying informs the league of your interest in playing and that you understand and meet the criteria for qualifying. CLL uses a voting-based selection process that varies by division. In addition to this process, all players must meet residency and age requirements, and must provide documentation of such once selected to a team, and have played in no less than eight (8) of their regular season team’s games. Carthage Little League is required to confirm eligibility by obtaining residence and proof-of-age documentation from each player. It is absolutely critical this is received as soon as rosters are announced, or a team could face disqualification.
The expectations and time commitment are more rigorous for All-Stars than the regular season. Practices will start when rosters are finalized and the tournaments will last through mid-July or later if teams continue to advance. All players are expected to attend all practices and games.
District tournaments are tentatively scheduled for July . The winner of the District Tournament in each division will advance to the State Tournament. The State Tournament location will vary by division and is normally held the second or third weekend of July. The State Tournament Champion for Majors and older will advance to Regionals and possibly even the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA in August. Dates and times for games are subject to vary and a schedule is presented immediately before each tournament begins. Travel may be required, and while the league sets aside limited funds to help defer this cost, there may be additional out-of-pocket expenses or fundraisers to offset costs. Players are also responsible for providing uniform pants.
