MVLL All-Stars - 2025

Team Formation:  Upon the conclusion of the regular Little League season, All-Star teams are named for the 9’s, 10’s 11’s, Little League (12’s), Intermediate (13’s) and Juniors (14’s) divisions. These teams represent Mill Valley Little League at District, and hopefully Section and State level tournament play that runs from the end of the regular season through July. All-Stars candidates must be both eligible and available to play.  All-Stars include MVLL’s strongest participants with regard to ability, attitude, and effort. 

Player Eligibility:  Upon the conclusion of the regular Little League spring season, All-Stars teams are named for the following League Age brackets: 9 year old, 10 year old, 11 year old, Little League (12 year old), Intermediate (13’s) and Juniors (14’s). Eligible players come from AAA, Minors, Majors and Juniors and are required to have played in at least 60% of the games of the current Spring MVLL season. 

Player Availability:  All-Stars are expected to fulfill the obligations associated with this honor, which include attending all mandated practices and tournament games. In the recent past, practices have been daily and sometimes twice daily for the weeks leading up to games, possibly with morning hitting sessions in the cages and late afternoon/early evening sessions on the diamond. Each AS manager will determine the practice schedule for their team.  Parents of prospective All-Stars Players will need to construct their summer vacation schedules accordingly if they wish their child to be considered for the All-Star tournament. We know that can make summer planning challenging, but we ask you for patience and flexibility in order that your son or daughter can potentially participate fully in the All-Star team experience.  

Manager Selection Process:  Managers wanting to manage an All-Star team shall communicate their interest to the Board through our All-Star Commissioner, Greg Moore.  The All-Star Committee (made up of MVLL Board members) will review the submissions, interview all those interested and determine the best candidate for the position.  The selected Manager will be allowed to select his/her supporting Coaches, but these Coaches must be approved by the All-Star Committee. The Managers for the All-Star teams should come from the Divisions from which the majority of players played. To be eligible to be the Manager or a Coach of an All-Star team you must have been a Manager or Coach during the regular season.

Player Selection Process:  The All-Star teams are intended to represent the best players available to put together a competitive team to play in the postseason.  Player selection is based on a vote of the players within that age division as well as the division Managers. This vote is conducted near the end of the MVLL regular season. Manager and coach voting is based on their assessment of player performance over the preceding 3 months.  Each All-Star Manager reviews the voting results and the recommendations of their division managers and coaches. The All-Star Manager for a particular age group also reviews the players during the season, asks coaches for input and reviews the numbers from the voting.  The All-Star Manager may also conduct on-the-field player assessments to assist in the selection process.  The All-Star Manager then submits the tournament roster to the All-Star Committee for review and approval.  The roster size ranges from 12-14 players.

Notification Process:  The list of those players who made All-Stars are posted on the MVLL website - typically on the earliest date allowed by Little League International for notification.  Families for the All-Stars teams are also notified by the respective All-Star Manager. 

Recognition:  MVLL hosts an award ceremony honoring and announcing those players who are named All-Stars.  The award ceremony is known as “Super Saturday” and occurs at Boyle Park (on the Majors field) immediately following the City Championship games for the Minors and Majors Division.  The All-Star teams receive MVLL All-Star hats and t-shirts, recognition on the MVLL website, and notices in the Marin Independent Journal.

2025 Calendar:  We expect to open voting on May 9th, and announce All Stars on May 23rd.  The calendar through the State tournament is below; should we be fortunate enough to qualify for regional or national competition in late July and August, we'll update this!
