Greetings All!
The Pocket Little League Board has decided to have three (3) traveling All Star teams for the upcoming All Star Tournament season.
All Star Practices will begin June 15. Tournament Games will begin circa June 27. The District Tournament is expected
to end July 9.
NOTE: If our teams are fortunate to win the District Tournament, they would move on to the sectionals, regionals, state and the
World Series (12-11 year old team) which could stretch into August.
Pocket will send one team for each of the following respective All Star Tournament divisions:
12-11 Year Old Division
11-10 Year Old Division
10-9 Year Old Division
Each team will have a roster size of twelve (12) "official" players and two (2) "alternate" players.
Important Note Regarding Alternate Players: If your son is chosen to be an "alternate" player, he will be
allowed to attend ALL of the practices with the team that he is assigned to,however, will not be allowed to dress for
the games, nor sit in the dugout during the games. IF one of the twelve "official" players is no longer able to participate
in a tournament due to an injury or any other unforeseen event, at that time, the Board will decide if an alternate
player is to be elevated to the "official" squad.
EXPECTATIONS OF THE BOARD REGARDING THE ALL STAR PROGRAM:
The goal of the Pocket Little League Board is to send the most competitive teams possible to each respective tournament, while
maintaining
Pocket Little League's core values and Little League's commitment
to Good Sportsmanship and Code of Conduct.
The Board expects the following from ALL players, managers,
coaches, and parents that are fortunate to be selected to
represent Pocket Little League as an All Star:
*Commitment to the Team: You may have to sacrifice extracurricular events!
In an effort to build team chemistry and comradery, it is expected that EVERY player, manager,
and coach attend
95% of ALL practices, and 100% of ALL games. It is also expected that ALL players
show up on time for all
practices and games. That means, we are asking that the Pocket Little League All Star team become the number 1
priority over all other extracurricular events during the All Star period of June 15 through July 9, 2012 (or beyond).
NOTE 1: Beginning June 15, it is expected that practice be held at least once a day (give or take a day) until the tournament begins.
NOTE 2: All Star period may be shorter or longer depending on the success of the team.
Example #1: If you have a vacation planned during the time period of June 15- July 9, for which an All Star member will miss
"significant" practice
time and/or games, we ask that you notify the board immediately
so that we can remove said player
from the process and the team.
Example #2: Other than a tragedy in the family, or "significant" family event (such as an immediate family wedding), it is expected
that an All-Star practice or game
comes first during the All Star tournament period.
*A friend's 11 year-old birthday party at Scandia or the local Laser Tag location is not to supersede a Pocket Little League
practice
or game.
*Another competitive baseball or travel ball practice or game are not to supersede a Pocket Little League practice or
game during
All Star tournament time.
If you feel that you cannot adhere to these time commitments, please contact Player-Agent, Tracy Gee, by
May 20, 2012,
so that
we can offer a roster spot to a player that is willing to adhere to this commitment.
Tracy Gee's e-mail address is: tarjgee@sbcglobal.net
*Vote for "Deserving" Players to represent Pocket Little League:
The Board expects all player, managers, and coaches to vote for the most deserving players to represent Pocket Little League.
Although we will not all
agree on a player's talent level, we do ask that you be fair to all players when making your selections.
Again, it is the Board's hope to field the
most competitive teams possible.
All Star Selection Process:
Within the next two weeks, each Major and AAA team will receive an All Star Ballot to vote for who will make the
All Star teams. Each player, manager, and official assistant coach will be allowed to vote one time only.
Those players receiving the most votes will be selected as an All Star.
Other Specifics regarding the voting:
* Teams will not be allowed to vote for their own teammates or players. You must choose players from the other teams in the respective league.
Example: If you are a member of the A's (player, manager, coach) in the Major division, your All Star Ballot will not consist
of any of the A's players.
If you are a member of the Yankees (player, manager, coach) in the AAA, your All Star Ballot will
not consist
of any Yankees players.
* Major teams will receive ballots of other Major teams only.
* AAA teams will receive ballots of other AAA teams only.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Good Luck!
Sincerely,
Bob Wood
Pocket LL Coach Coordinator
