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?
- Major 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 or Super-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 (May 11th) 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 May 17th.
