ALL-STARS PROGRAM INFO

What is All-Stars Ball?

• FCLL offers an All-Stars Program following completion of Spring House League Season play for various age groups. The All-Stars Season is a wonderful experience for players and families that are committed to playing more baseball.  Players are selected on a try-out basis and the season normally goes until the first weekend in August.
• The All-Stars Ball is a competitive program for the Minors (Baseball Ages 8-10) and Majors (Baseball Ages 11-12) age groups.
• FCLL intends to have Majors and Minors teams for the 2025 Season:
  • 3 teams in each division (Majors: Baseball Ages 11-12, Minors: Baseball Ages 8-10).
  • Teams will be grouped based on AAA, AA, and A, with "AAA" being the strongest.
  • Team placement will depend on the number of players who try out and their skill level.
• Players are encouraged to attend tryouts and must be registered to be eligible.
• Players will be selected to each team by the Head Coach for that team.
• Head Coaches will be selected by members of the FCLL Board.
• All Stars Ball is a competitive program and is structured differently than House League regular season.
• Unlike the House League/Regular Season where the focus is on giving every child an opportunity to play every position, Head Coaches will set the batting line-up and place players in field positions they feel will give them the competitive advantage.
• The minimum requirement for playing time is different than the regular season. However, a positive playing experience for players on the team in the number one priority.
