2023 All Star Tournament

The District One 2023 All Stars Tournament Schedule is available here.

All Stars - The Path to the Little League World Series

The Mill Creek Little League All Stars teams participate in competitive post-season play, as they face other teams in District One, with the hopes of moving on to the State Championship tournament and ultimately the Little League World Series (12s only). Players must be available for a major time commitment during All Star season. All Stars is generally around late June to early July, and may go into August, depending upon the team's success. Contact the MCLL Player Agent with questions.

In the summer of 2008, our Mill Creek Little League Baseball Team (12s/13s) made a historic run into one of the most cherished and beloved events in American history, the Little League World Series. Read this fun article to learn more!

Eligibility

• All Majors and Minors baseball and softball players who have played in at least 8 of the regular season games are eligible.
• If a player missed games due to a documented injury, they may still be eligible with a doctors note.
• Farm and rookies division players are not eligible.

• What will tryouts be like? Unlike evaluations done at the beginning of the year, the All Star teams are decided based on a tryout setting. They will run through skills and drills for warm ups, and then there will be scrimmages to assess player skills. You may often see a set of kids being pulled to evaluate certain positions or game situations.

• Who are the managers? Managers must apply to the VP of Softball or Baseball before a set date. There are rules and restrictions on who can apply based on their coaching status the current year (see process document for more details). Once applications are in, the All Star Manager Selection Committee (consisting of the VP of the Division, the MCLL President, and the Player Agent) will interview the potential managers and nominate them to be the All Star manager.

• How does selection for the 12u team work? Players in the Majors division will vote for the best players to represent MCLL on a specified date. With 3 teams (Baseball) and 2 teams (Softball) in the division this year, players will vote for the top 3 players among the other teams not including theirs. The ballots will be placed in a sealed envelope by the Player Agent and the team manager will sign across the seal of the envelope. The votes will be counted by 2 people who do not have vested interest in the outcome of the vote. The 3 players who receive the most votes will be first on the team. The remaining spots will be selected by the All Star Committee and the All-Star Managers. See process document for more details.

• What do I do if my child can’t make it to tryouts? Register for the appropriate division and let the Player Agent know that your child cannot attend tryouts. If a player cannot make it, the board will consider nominating the player to the team without attending tryouts and the Committee will vote.

• What if we have vacations planned during this time? This is a very competitive tournament, and the expectation is that the player will attend all practices and tournament games. We do not have alternate players on the roster, so having a player miss a game could end up in a forfeit. In the event that there is a long break between events (like 10u Softball, who waits 3 weeks between Districts and State), we do understand that there may be some family vacations planned. If there is any kind of conflict with the expected dates, please register and inform the Player Agent as soon as possible before team selection so that the managers can be made aware.
