If you apply to the all stars team, you are expected to clear your schedule and commit to attend most practices and ALL games for the period of June 1 through July 19 for the District tournament, and beyond if your team goes to State tournament. All-Stars Tournaments are double elimination. The commitment ends when the team has lost two games. The team who wins District 8 goes on to State. In 2023 only Winners of Washington State Majors (12'S), Juniors (13'S), and Seniors will go on to play in Regional and World Series tournaments.
Players will attend tryouts and teams will be announced shortly after. Practices are coach discretion but will likely be 4-5 events per week leading up to the tournament, including practices, special instruction and scrimmages or tournaments. This intensive period of player development will benefit your player immensely.
RUG Little League’s All-Stars teams are an exciting opportunity for the top players to compete in tournaments against other Little Leagues in the same age division. It is exciting and players get as much, if not more, baseball instruction as they did in the regular season.
Each league can assemble only one All-Stars team in each of the divisions that tournaments are offered. For 60’ diamond divisions, they are broken down by league playing age 8/9/10, 9/10/11, and 11/12. Our league’s priority is to put the most competitive team on the field in each division. Since there are normally more applicants than spots, it may be necessary to cut some players.
