As a league, Wilshire Riverside Little League (WRLL) strives to make sure that the regular season offers as much opportunity for all players to experience baseball in a fair and equitable manner. When it comes to All-Star teams, WRLL wants to field the most competitive team it can for the All-Star tournament.
WRLL believes that it is important to include the players in the league in the selection process. All players need to have an opportunity to make the team regardless of: popularity, school affiliation, parental influence, manager prejudice, or because their parent is a WRLL Board Member.
Beginning in 2024, players and coaches will be voting online. Players are encouraged to vote, but this is optional. Their votes will help inform the postseason selection process. Regular season coaches will vote on the 12-player roster for each of the 3 postseason Tournament Teams (8-10 TT, 9-11 TT, and 10-12 All Stars). The WRLL Board selects postseason coaches.
Minimum playing time requirement is 1 at bat and zero innings in the field at each game (i.e. not all players will always play in the field, but everyone will get at least one at bat).
Please take note of the All-Star dates below and if you have any questions about the process please do not hesitate to contact a Board member.
WRLL will field the following teams as allowed by player and manager commitment
1) 10/11/12 Year Old (YO) Little League All Stars (can advance to Williamsport, PA)
2) 9/10/11 YO Tournament Team (can advance to State Championship)
3) 8/9/10 YO Tournament Team (can advance to State Championship)
4) 10/11/12 YO Honors Team(s) (District Tournament operated by District 4)
5) 8/9/10 YO Honors Team(s) (District Tournament operated by District 4)
Postseason Tournament play is a serious commitment for players and parents. Please consider your summer vacation/camp schedule regarding this timeline below. The commitment to the team will involve daily practices (up to 2x/day) and weekend scrimmages prior to the Tournament.
