As you may know, a number of teams are compiled at the end of each season to showcase HVLL’s top talent and compete with other local league’s All Star teams. What you may not know is how the nomination and selection process are completed.
How many teams are there?
A total of four teams are formed. There is a League Age 11/12 All Star team, a 10/11 All Star team and a 9/10 All Star team, as well as a League Age 8/9 Super Star team.
How are players nominated?
- Majors division managers may nominate up to four (4) League-Age 12 and up to four (4) League-Age 10/11 players from their roster for inclusion on the All Star ballot.*
- Minor A division managers may nominate up to four (4) League-Age 9 /10 players from their roster for inclusion on the All Star ballot.*
- All League-Age 8/9 players from the Minor A division are eligible to be nominated by their team manager. In addition, Minor B division managers may nominate up to two (2) League-Age 8/9 players from their team for inclusion on the Super Star ballot.*
*Managers may request to nominate an additional player to the All Star ballot by petitioning the HVLL Board of Directors.
In the end, who makes the team?
The final determination as to who makes the 11/12, 10/11 and 9/10 teams is based on a combination of Majors/Minor A player voting (which will take place this year on Saturday, May 11) and manager voting/input, which will happen at the end of the month. Final determination for the 8/9 Super Star team does not include player voting and is based on manager voting/input only.
Final teams will be announced on June 1, 2019.
