2026 All-Star Player Commitment

In order to be eligible and considered for an All Star Team, you must read all the below information and complete the linked registration form below at the bottom of this page by May 1st. If you have any questions, please contact the CLL Board of Directors.

Cottonwood Little League is proud to compete in the District 1 All Star Tournament. The CLL All Star rosters are comprised of eligible players who competed in a minimum of 60% of games during league play for the 2026 season. The All Star experience is an honor for the players.

Please keep in mind that interest does not equal placement. We will carry a roster of 11-12 players, chosen by the team coaches, other players, and approved by the Cottonwood LL Board. There will be tryouts on May 1, 2026. If we do not have enough players and coaches who meet the criteria we will not form a team at that level.

The main criteria for selection are the ability to commit (see below for expectations) and competitive performance during the season. It is a fantastic experience for the players, and for many, a chance to play tournament-style softball or baseball. It is very competitive, so while our goal is never to 'win-it-all', we do want to be able to compete and have the girls and boys feel great about representing their home league.

Please review our bylaws that describe the entire process for team and manager selection.

Time Commitment

I have no scheduled sporting events, vacations, camps, or any other commitments that will interfere with my attendance at All-Star practices and/or games. I agree to minimize activities that could drain my energy before practices and games, and will be physically and mentally prepared to work with my coaches and teammates. CLL All-Star teams may hold daily practices including on Sundays. Only excused absences are allowed during the All-Star period. Little League rules state that if a player misses ONE game during All Stars they are ineligible to play in any games thereafter.

We understand that while the chances of CLL All-Star teams advancing beyond the District 1 Tournament are limited, we agree to not schedule vacation or other activities that may interfere with our child’s ability to attend practices and/or games during the entire All-Star period, as noted below (dates/locations subject to change). All-Star Tournaments are designed as a double-elimination format, and I understand that our commitment ends when my team loses two games. 

District 1 All Stars Schedule TBD but will start in mid June.

If selected to represent CLL as an All-Star, I understand that I may be asked to play in different positions than I played during the regular season. I understand that there is no minimum playing time, but I will bat as part of a continuous batting order. This means everyone is in the batting order, but there is no guaranteed playing time in the field and the coaching staff will determine batting order position.

Mandatory Team Meeting

If selected to represent CLL as an All-Star, we shall attend the Mandatory Team Meeting on/around June TBD (date/time/location subject to change). During this meeting, I shall bring the following documents:

1. Original certified birth certificate to show proof of age

2.  School Enrollment Form or 3 Proofs of Residency- Print, fill out by both parent/legal guardian and school personnel.

3. Medical Release Form- Print, fill out, and sign by parent or legal guardian.

Team Uniform

If selected to represent CLL as an All Star, I will be provided a team hat and jersey which will be covered by the league. I will be asked to purchase pants, socks, and a belt in whatever coordinating color the All Stars manager decides. I will also be required to bring my own bat, helmet, and glove.

PLAYER CONDUCT AGREEMENT

If selected to represent CLL as an All-Star, I will support my team by playing my best at all times and maintaining a positive and respectful attitude towards my teammates. I will respect the coaches, umpires, fans, and opposing teams at all times. I understand that collectively we will strive to represent CLL in the best way through our personal behavior and team effort.

I have read and understand the All-Star commitment information, and I wish to be considered for one of the CLL All-Star Tournament Teams. Please fill out one of the following forms to complete All-Star commitment registration:
