All-Star teams are formed from each league for several age groups. The All-Star teams from all the league in the District play in a double elimination tournament ultimately deciding the District All-Star champions for the season for each age level. For the 11-12 age group, the winning All-Star team will continue on to compete for a slot in the Little League World Series. All-Star team rosters are set in late May. Games start in late June with the final games typically held in the second week of July.
Players are selected to play on the All-Star team based on a combination of nomination by the regular season team managers, votes by the players themselves, and by the All-Star team manager's selection of players. Rosters are typically 12 to 13 players. The selection process is not perfect and unfortunately not everybody that wants to play all stars will get to. Below are the age groups for All-Star Teams and the order in which the teams are normally filled.
