All-Stars is an opportunity for players from Maine-Endwell Little League to play on a different team, meet new friends, represent the community, and experience well-run tournaments throughout NY State and beyond. An All-Star player exhibits the following qualities:
-
Exemplifies good sportsmanship and team spirit whether winning or losing
-
Demonstrates the highest and most consistent ability to execute the fundamental skills of the game
-
Demonstrates commitment to an extensive schedule of practice & games throughout the entire tournament period
Maine-Endwell Little League typically sponsors the following All Star tournament teams for Baseball and/or Softball:
-
Major League – 12A, 10A (Williamsport Tournament Teams), 12B, 12C, 10B and 10C
-
AAA League – 10B and 10C
Coaches and players are selected for All-Stars in accordance with M-E Little League Board policy. All interested players must complete the registration form in order to be considered for a team. Registering makes you eligible to be chosen for an All-Star Team. While M-E Little League is strongly committed to providing summer baseball to continue player development for those that are interested, we are limited in the number of teams we can field. The League will do its best to support as many All-Star teams as possible, but the selection process is competitive, and there are no guarantees that space will be available for all registered players or that a player will be chosen for a specific team.
-
All-Star players will be required to be at all practices and tournaments, unless prior arrangements have been made with the All-Star team manager or noted on this form.
-
All-Star Parents will be required to volunteer at the Maine-Endwell sponsored All-Star Tournaments.
-
Playing time will be determined by All-Star team Managers, in accordance with the published playing time rules for each individual tournament. Playing time may be limited in some circumstances. Managers will make every effort to allocate playing time evenly, but M-E Little League will not address any inquiries regarding playing time during the All-Star season.
-
Every All-Star player will have a “role” to play on the team. All-Star players may be asked to play different positions than they may have played during the regular season. All-Star players must be willing to accept their team “role”, and work hard for the betterment of the team.
-
Most Little League All-Star tournaments are held within a short driving distance of the M-E community. However, in some cases, tournaments may be held out of town, or even outside of NY State, particularly for Williamsport Tournament play. Families are responsible for covering their own travel, hotel, food, and gas expenses for all tournaments.
-
All-Star players are required to pay $115.00 each to help offset the cost of All-Star uniforms (which you keep) and All-Star tournament fees. Payment can be made by cash or a check made out to Maine-Endwell Little League and given to your All-Star coach.
-
Williamsport All-Star Teams: Players who are selected to the 12A and 10A Williamsport Tournament teams will be required to pay a fee of $175.00, to cover additional uniform, equipment and tournament processing fees. Participation in the Williamsport All-Star Teams may require extensive travel. M-E Little League will seek to defray a portion of this cost through fundraisers/donations. If a Player or Parent is willing to commit to the additional travel time & expense required to participate in the Williamsport Tournament, it MUST be noted below on this form.
