Selection to the All-Star Team is a very big honor. It’s an opportunity to up your game by playing with the best players at your age level and learning the next level of game strategies from your coaches. All-Star teams typically practice every day for the two weeks prior to the tournament start. Depending on the success of each team, tournaments and practices could continue through mid-July or beyond.
Divisions

There could be teams in the higher divisions (Intermediate, Juniors or Seniors) if MLL has enough regular season players to field a team (Western Region no longer allows combined teams with other leagues).
Tournaments
The District All-Star tournament runs through mid-July. The teams that win the District All-Star Tournament proceed to the State All-Star Tournament. The furthest that the U10 and U11 all-star teams may go is the State Level. In the U12 All-Star division, the winner of the state tournament proceeds to a Regional Tournament and potentially then to National and International Tournaments. The International All-Star Tournaments are held in Williamsport in August.
The 2026 tournament schedule can be found on the District 1 website.
Selection Process
Team Managers and the Player Agent will collaborate to reach consensus on the players who will be selected to the All-Star teams. Player selection will be based on (1) regular season performance, (2) Team Manager feedback and recommendations, and (3) performance at the All-Star assessment.
Players must commit to attending all practices and games, which is a significant time commitment during the summer. There is a registration fee for all All-Star players to cover costs of uniforms, tournament fees, etc. Players will receive a full All-Star uniform including a personalized Jersey that they keep at the conclusion of the All-Star tournaments.
Players interested in trying out for this year’s All-Star teams must fill out the All-Star Player Agreement and pledge their time to the All-Star experience. It is important that each player selected for the All-Star team is available for the extent of the All-Star season. Players with family commitments or planned vacations need to disclose that information as part of their All-Star application. If you would like to be considered for placement on an All-Star team, you must sign and return the applicable player agreement on or before the day of tryouts: All-Star Player Agreement.
Playing Time
One area that sometimes generates controversy and confusion among All-Star players and families is playing time. During All-Star season, substitution rules differ from those in the regular season. Minimum playing time will depend on the number of players on the All-Star team's roster (i.e., 12 or 13 players).
Code of Conduct
Once selected to an All-Star team, players and parents must sign a code of conduct form.
