Each summer, Little League International holds All Star tournaments throughout the world. For teams comprised of 11/12 year-olds (Majors), bracket winners gather together in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in August to play the Little League Baseball World Series. Teams comprised of 9/10 and 10/11 year-olds play in tournaments to decide a state champion.
Central Loudoun Little League will field seven All Star teams: American and National 9/10, American and National 10/11, American and National 11/12 and Juniors. The players will be chosen by the All Star managers from a list of candidates who have completed an online commitment form.
The Majors (11/12s) All Star teams will include three 12 year old players who are voted onto the team by CLLL Majors players themselves.

It is the CLLL’s philosophy that our All Star teams be comprised of the best of the older players in that age group. For example, for Majors teams the best 12s, for the 10/11 teams the best 11s, and for the 9/10 teams the best 10s. However, ultimate discretion lies with the managers selecting the teams. There are no guarantees that your child will be selected.
By Little League rule, players must have participated in at least 60% of their team’s games.
Players will be notified per Little League International rules:
Release of Names The release of names of players selected for the tournament team shall not be made before June 15, or two weeks prior to the start of the tournament within their respective division (whichever is earlier), and not until the availability and eligibility of all prospective team members have been established. (Little League accident insurance for tournament teams will not go into effect until June 15, or the date of the release of the names of Tournament Team members, whichever is earlier).
District 16 is comprised of Dulles, Upper Loudoun, Lower Loudoun, Loudoun South, Greater Fauquier, and Central Loudoun Little League baseball organizations. The District 16 Tournaments are in late June/ early July. These tournaments could last approximately two weeks. Practices will begin between June 10, 2015 - June 15, 2015. The number of practice sessions is at the discretion of the manager, but may occur every day until the games begin. Should a CLLL team advance beyond the first round of tournament play, the commitment would extend as outlined below. Although this might require families to adjust summertime vacations, the tournaments are very exciting and fun to watch.
