Each Year Little League organizations are able to field teams to participate in All Star tournaments. All Star players are selected from the top performing players in each age bracket (not division specific) of the league. Players selected to represent South Durham Little League as an All Star certainly have excelled in their play on the field; as importantly, though, they have demonstrated model sportsmanship, consistent effort and an overall superior understanding of the game. The decisions regarding selctions of players come from a mutual agreement and voting process amoung the league's coaches. Parents are NOT able to request that their child be singled out for consideration. ALL players are listed by team on age appropriate ballots that coaches review. The link below is a list of each team that South Durham Little League will field along with a description of the process for the selection of coaches and players of each team.
