Here is a link to an FAQ that will help answer any questions you may have!
All-Star teams will be announced on Monday, June 9th. The All Star Manager will contact you if you made the team the evening of Sunday June 8th. If you weren't selected, your NESLL Manager will contact you that night.
The All-Star seasons usually last 6-8 weeks with practices starting on Monday, June 9th or Tuesday June 10th. The exact duration of a team’s All-Star season depends on their age and success. Each All-Star team plays in their respective District 8 tournament; the winner advances to the state tournament. For 8-9-10 and 9-10-11 year old teams, the journey ends there. For Majors and above, however, state champions advance to the Northwest Regional tournament. Regional winners advance to their respective Little League World Series.
