As we move further into May, it’s time to begin preparations for All-Star team selections. This year, we’re introducing age-based workouts to help managers evaluate players more effectively. Workouts will be held for all teams except Jrs.

These workouts are optional and open to any player interested in being considered for an All-Star team. They are not tryouts, and participation does not affect a player's eligibility. The goal is to give managers an additional opportunity to see players in action before making final selections.

To be eligible for All-Stars, players must have participated in at least 8 regular season games. Team eligibility is based on a player's Little League age as of 8/31/25, not the division they currently play in. For example: 

• A player turning 10 on 9/2/25 is Little League age 9 and eligible for the 9YO team

• A Little League player age 8 as of 8/31/25 and in the Minor division is only eligible for the 8YO team

Howell Central typically fields seven All-Star teams: 7YO, 8YO, 9YO, 10YO, 11/12YO,  and13/14YO. 

Important Notes:

• Previous All-Star participation does not guarantee selection

• Selection is based on performance, positional needs, availability, and commitment

• Tournaments usually run from late June to early July

HCLL Board members will be present at each session to answer any questions about All-Star participation, including time commitment, cost, and expectations.
