From the moment we begin Evaluations, our goal is to represent Goodyear Little League on a district, state, regional and world platform, with the best among the best. The Goodyear All-Stars have four baseball divisions and two softball divisions, based on player’s age:
Baseball
-
TOPS Tournament – A local tournament consisting primarily of 9-yr olds.
-
10 Yr Olds - State Tournament
-
11 yr Olds - State Tournament
-
12 Yr olds - Williamsport Bound
Softball
-
12 Yr olds
-
10 Yr olds
If your player chooses to be considered as an All-Star candidate, both he/she & parents will need to complete a commitment form when requested to do so. At which point each Manager in the same division will be provided with a list of All-Star candidates for evaluation purposes during remainder of the regular season. All managers will meet during the first week of June for All-Star selection & who’ll represent Goodyear Little League in the upcoming All-Star’s season beginning at District level. All-Stars will be announced on June 15th – NO SOONER unless stipulated by LL International.
With All-Star’s games beginning either the last week of June or first week of July and with limited amount of practice time, it is imperative that players attend all scheduled practices set forth by All-Star manager and be available from June 15th through July 31st in most cases. There will be a MANDATORY Parents meeting once teams have been announced to review expectations as well as distribute uniforms.
Schedules for All-Stars will not be published until approximately one week prior to start of tournament. Based on double elimination format (meaning GYLL will have to lose 2 games in order to be disqualified from remaining tournament play), we are guaranteed 2 scheduled games. Should any teams win at District level, they will then move on to State Tournament (Location TBD) which may/will result in travel, possibly overnight accommodations.
