American & National League Parents:
All-Stars and Honors registration is upon us!! If your child is interested in playing on a postseason team, Postseason Registration must be completed online through the LOLL website. There is an additional postseason fee of $100. Postseason registration closes on Saturday, May 22 for American league and Tuesday, June 1 for National League. Teams will be announced no later than Monday, June 7th .
LO Little League All-Stars
Players selected for All-Stars play a rigorous postseason schedule. All-Star teams will practice about 5 days per week starting the second week of June and continuing throughout June and into July. Majors All-Stars could potentially play until the end of August. A player should not sign up for All-Stars unless he is willing to commit to 100% of the potential schedule. All-Stars is not recreational baseball, it is competitive baseball. Playing time will not be equal and must be earned. Players may not play in the same positions that they did during the regular season. Tournament schedules are described below for the various age groups.
All-Star players will be selected as described below.
Majors 10-12 All-Stars:
Being selected as a Majors All-Star is a tremendous accomplishment and an opportunity to represent our LO community. If selected, it is expected that the player is a great teammate and represents our community in a positive light. It is also important that players and parents understand that our postseason is the equivalent of a baseball immersion program. Players are expected to participate in 100% of practices (5 days a week) and social events. In addition, the team will play "friendlies" versus teams from Washington State to Eugene on the weekends. The team will play in two competitive, club level tournaments on the weekends of 6/19 and 6/26 before the LL postseason tournament begins in July. Parents may be asked to help carpool or arrange meals and snacks. Parents must agree that by "opting in," they fully understand that the Little League postseason minimum play requires only that a player must receive one at-bat with a 13 player roster. While the coaches cannot guarantee the amount of playing time for a player, each player will receive quality coaching, repetitions in practice, and a memorable experience.
All American League players will be given a ballot in late May and asked to vote for three All-Star registered players that they feel have had an exceptional spring baseball season and should be playing on the LOLL All-Star Team. The three players receiving the most votes will be placed on the Majors All-Star Team. The American League managers & Umpire-In-Chief will determine, by consensus, the remaining roster.

The LL District 4 Majors Honors tournament begins 6/12 in Wilsonville and lasts about two weeks.
