General Information
To be considered for selection as a representative of QALL on an all-star team, the parent/guardian of each player will sign a Letter of Commitment. The Letter of Commitment includes agreement with eligibility requirements, which include (but may not be limited to):
- Player participated in at least 60% of the regular season games as of June 1 in their Division.
- Player will make every effort to attend all practices (which start between June 1 and 15). It is not uncommon for all-star teams to practice every day (yes, 7 days per week).
- Be available for all tournament games. The official district tournament normally begins in late June (sometimes playing through the July 4 weekend). Winners of the district tournament will move on to state and then regional (Pacific NW) and for majors possibly national.
- Costs of travel are the responsibility of each player's family.
All-star teams are differentiated by age as follows:
- 10U All-Stars
- 11U All-Stars
- Majors All-Stars
- Juniors All-Stars
- Seniors All-Stars
At the discretion of the league, players may be required to play up a division to ensure teams are formed and balanced (i.e. 11 playing on the 12U team)
Depending on available number of players, a team may or may not be formed at each division. QALL may combine with neighboring leagues to form an all-star team at a specific age group.
Although the selection process will differ by division, the selection criteria are the same for all divisions:
- Teamwork
- Sportsmanship/Attitude
- Offensive skills
- Defensive skills
- Baseball "smarts"
