Post-Season: All-Stars (Tournament)
What are All-Stars? All-Stars is a program to highlight top players from the spring season who are hand-selected to participate in and represent Bryan National in a post-season tournament against other leagues in the surrounding communities. Being selected for All-Stars is truly an achievement—these are players who have demonstrated outstanding overall performance both in gameplay and sportsmanship.
Why it's an Achievement: Players selected for an All-Star team or Special Games team will have a significantly higher level of commitment, receive higher-level instruction, and compete against other All-Star teams or Special Games teams.
Tournament Overview: The Little League International Tournament is the most widely known youth sports tournament in the world. There are six levels of tournament play in Little League Baseball® and five within Little League Softball®, with opportunities for players ages 8 to 16. The tournaments start at the District level, and teams must win their way to advance through the International Tournament. The 8- to 10-Year-Old and 9- to 11-Year-Old Tournaments culminate at the State Level, while the Little League, Little League Intermediate (50/70) Baseball, Junior League, and Senior League divisions all conclude at a World Series Tournament.

PRACTICE AND GAME EXPECTATIONS
All-Stars requires a total commitment to participate in the program, and it’s expected that all players attend every practice and scheduled game. We recognize that it can be a significant time commitment during the summer break, but it ensures non-forfeitures of games and, more importantly, a fun experience for every player and coach.

Practices will be scheduled and communicated by the coaches once teams are finalized. Please expect daily practice between Monday - Sunday during the post-season.

Game schedules have yet to be released; however, please plan for the first game during week 1
