Lewis River Little League is dedicated to providing the children of our community the opportunity to participate in the sport of baseball in a fun and safe environment. We offer baseball and softball programs for all players ages 4-16.

We strive to provide an environment in which young players can learn to play the game of baseball or softball, sharpen their skills, learn social skills in regards to teamwork, sportsmanship and respect. With positive participation from parents, coaches and players, we can provide an experience that’s rewarding to all.

Allstar Selection

The time of year is upon us in which our All-Star teams are selected. To avoid any confusion or answer any questions you as a player or parent may have Lewis River Little League has provided this overview of how this process works. Lewis River Little League supports this process and believes it to be fair to all players.

We are allowed 1 team of 12-13 players per age group and this is how they are chosen:

1. The kids vote for 12 kids and 1 manager, and sign their ballot.

-  Who votes: Every Kid on the ballot is given the chance to vote at the end of one of their last few games. 8 yr olds are on the ballot for Minors, 9 & 10 yr olds are not on the ballot for Majors. Kids MUST play 60% of games and live within our leagues boundaries to be on ballot and vote.

2. The top five, (5), players voted by the kids are on the team.

3. 1 Manager and 1 Coach from every team votes for 12 kids on their ballot.

4. The top five, (5), (excluding the 5 voted in by the kids) vote getters on the Coaches vote are on the team. TIES are decided by the Kids vote. For example: Tim, Bob & Mike each get 5 coach votes, the one with the most kid votes is selected 1st, the one that got the 2nd most kid votes is 2nd, etc...                         

5. TEN, 10 players are now on the team, their ballots are pulled out of the stack and their Manager votes are counted. They elect their own manager. If there is a tie for manager it is decided on what place they finished in League play, if still tied then the board decides.                                                                                    

i.  NOTE 1: All managers must be approved by the board, if there is a manager that has had problems during the season they can, and will, be removed from contention for Allstar Manager.                             

ii.  NOTE 2: Just because a manager is selected doesn’t mean he has to do it. If his kid isn’t on the team or for any other reason, we can’t force him to “VOLUNTEER” and commit a month of time to an Allstar Team.  

6. The regular season Manager with the best regular season record is 1st Choice for coach. If he says no, then the 2nd best record, then 3rd, etc…

7. The 3rd Coach is selected by the Manager from anybody that is on the regular season roster as a coach.

8. The Manager selects the final 2 or 3 players for the team.  Highly recommended that he discusses this with his coaches, but it is his decision and it isn’t easy. Lewis River has 12 or 13 kids and 3 coaches per Allstar team. It is the manager’s decision whether to have 12 kids or 13.  

9. Once the Major team is picked the process is repeated with 11 yr old ballots excluding 11 yr olds that have been selected for the Major Team. They cannot play on both.

10. Teams are picked but CANNOT be notified or start practicing before the date set by District. 

11. If a selected kid can’t play due to personal reasons or is moved up from the 11 yr old team to the Major team he is replaced by the selection of the Manager. Once replaced you cannot rejoin the team.  

 Once the kids are selected they have about 2 weeks to come together as a team:

-  They will practice 4-6 times a week and play their games under a microscope of rules on the road.

-  They face a double elimination tournament against bigger leagues. It could be 2 games and done.

-  Minimum Play is 3 outs in the field and 1 at bat. Some kids will play the minimum in some games.

-  Substitution is player for player; a starter and a sub are tied together and cannot be in the game at the

same time. So 5-6 kids MUST play the whole game and the other 6-8 must pair up and share a spot.   

-  Player must provide Original Copies of Birth Certificates & proof of residence (3 pieces) or they can’t play.  

10-11 Year Old All Star Team:

After the 8-10 year old and 11-12 year old teams have been created through our above voting process the 10-11 year old All Star team will be created based on the votes from the remaining players. We encourage this to give more players the All Star experience.   

We hope this helps clear up confusion and lets everybody know what is going on right from the start. It isn’t easy, it’s a lot of hard work, but it can be something special that kids will remember forever.
