Player Selections
Selection to either a District All-Star or Tournament team is accomplished via rankings of the All-Star player pool. Mangers from Majors, AAA and AA observe players from their divisions throughout the regular season, as is reasonably possible. These observations occur from actual games played, games umpired and games otherwise viewed by this group. These managers rank the eligible player pool and the (10) top ranked players from each age group are then placed on the District team(s). The remaining (2) players are selected from the eligible player pool by the All-Star manager selected for each age group to fill out the roster.
Once District team rosters are filled, the remaining player pool will make up the tournament teams. The remaining top (10) ranked players from each age group will be placed on the tournament teams. The additional (2) players are then selected from the remaining eligible player pool by the Tournament manager selected for each age group.
Note: In the event there are not enough players for a specific age group to fill a tournament team roster, that age group may not be represented and the team may fold for the tournament season.
Each manager within the three divisions will receive a list of eligible players from their division on (TBD). They will have three days in which to complete the rankings and return them to Canyon Creek Little League’s Webmaster.
The President as well as members of the Board of Directors will build teams based on the manager’s rankings. Ties will be determined by the President and Board of Directors as necessary.
Manager Selections
Manager selections are appointed by Canyon Creek Little League’s President from the All-Star manager pool and finalized with approval by the Board of Directors for tournament play.
Coach Selections
All-Star and Tournament managers select his/her coach(s) from any of the regular season managers or coaches approved by the board for All-Stars. Coach selections must be appointed by the League President and finalized with approval by the Board of Directors for tournament play.
Selection as a coach does NOT guarantee a spot on a specific team for the coach(s) player.
All-Star Fees
In order to participate in CCLL’s post-season program, a $200 *non-refundable fee is required. This covers the cost of uniforms (shirt and cap) as well as entrance fees to at least three tournaments. In the event a team participates in more than three tournaments, additional fees may be required.
*Note: non-refundable -
1.) In the event a team is folded due to an unfilled roster prior to June 15th, fees will be refunded to those players affected.
2.) In the event a player is not selected for either a District or Tournament team, fees will be refunded to those players affected.
Time Commitment

Manager, Coaches and Players are expected to attend all scheduled practices and games throughout the All-Star tournament season which starts on June 16th and usually concludes July 31st. The end for District Teams can go longer depending on the performance of the team. District and Tournament teams usually practice every day games are not being played.
