Every year, East Chatham Little League attempts to send as many All-Star teams as possible to the NC District 2 tournament.  There is also a possibility of sending an "A" and "B" team for age divisions if that's what the board determines is best for that particular season.  An example of this would be to send 2 teams to the 8U tournament, both potentially made up of 7 and 8 year olds. 

The All-Star selection process consists of each HEAD coach nominating an overall top 12 from each league age group.  The All-star head coach will ask for individual team nominations if they desire.  They will also reach out to head coaches for discussion on individual players if warranted. The board will then organize an optional eval day for those nominees at the head coach's discretion. The only criteria for selection is that the player must have received an initial nomination during the first step of the process, UNLESS there are not enough players available to commit to the team to fill the roster requirements. Other factors considered are gamechanger stats, personal scouting and board input. Little League All-Star tournaments are "age pure" so even if a player plays up a division in the regular season, they are still eligible for their age appropriate All-Star team.  The ECLL Board will help determine if any of these players merit a nomination.

While ability on the field is very important, many other factors should be considered in nominations and selections.  These include: sportsmanship towards coaches, umpires and players, coachability, effort, attitude and availability.  All players represent East Chatham Little League and must be a reflection of our core values and standards.
