We brought All-Stars back to the area 3 years ago and now have added a tournament trail for the Rookie division as well. The District and State tournaments will be as follows.

We will be participating against other area All-Star teams through the Cal Ripkin tournament trail. The district and state will be played in West Texas with an opportunity for our teams if they choose to participate in the Regional and World Series tournaments.

All-Stars Selections: Coaches will nominate kids from their own teams and email them to baseball@kidsinc.org by April the 21st and then the coaches will get together on April 28th to pick the teams. Before turning in their nominations, they will need to get confirmation from the parents that they are available to participate (See dates above). This will give coaches several practices with the team before the season is over and then several more before the All-Star tournaments. It will also give us plenty of time to get the community involved and make it about these kids. Depending on the size of each division, we could have more than 1 All-Star team.
