What is it?
BRHLL All-Stars is a post-season tournament for a select group of players. All-Stars is BRHLL's commitment to, and recognition of, excellence in softball and baseball. The expectation for all-star players is to be available throughout the entire season. Most teams practice 5-6 times per week leading up to at least one tournament. Tournaments often start late in June and can run through late July, should a team win District and move on to the State tournament. Unlike the BRHLL rec season, playing time may be limited for some participants because the teams adhere to the official Little League playing rules, which may be a little as a single at bat per game.
How are BRHLL All-Star teams formed?
BRHLL All-Stars teams are selected based on player ability, availability, and eligibility.
Ability
Ability is assessed solely by objective opinions of the managers in the division in which the player is being considered. Ability includes a player's physical playing abilities as well as his/her mental attitude with respect to the game.
Availability
Player availability, including conflicts such as vacations and camps, is also an important consideration.
Eligibility
Members of the All-Star teams must meet league age requirements as documented via birth certificate, participate in 60% of regular season games and provide proof of residency.
Selection Committee
All-star teams are selected solely by team managers within their respective divisions of play. BRHLL's President, Player Agent, and Vice Presidents of Baseball / Softball attend the selection meetings to ensure Little League rules are adhered to, but do not participate in the selection of players.
How do we apply?
