Hello,
Tempe South Little League
2026 All Star Tournament Teams:
8/9/10 y.o. (10U), 9/10/11 y.o. (11U), and 11/12 y.o. (12U)
Tempe South Little League invites you to consider participating in the post-season All Star Tournament. It is our hope that you enjoyed this season and want to continue the experience at the next level.
The 2026 District 13 All Star Tournament commences pool play on or about June 22 and is tentatively scheduled to end on July 3 (all dates to be confirmed) at Tempe Sports Complex. Successful teams at the District tournaments will advance to the State All Star Tournaments, which will begin after July 3rd. State tournament locations will be in Tucson (12U) starting July 6th, Tempe (11U) starting July 10th, and Scottsdale (10U) TBD.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be an information meeting for all interested parents on Saturday, May 2 at 6:00pm at the park benches (between Fields 3 and 6) to discuss the All Star process and to answer any questions that you may have.
Commitment, Ballot, & Selection Process
The three All Star Managers will be announced by April 30th. TSLL hopes to have All Star teams in three Divisions: 10U, 11U, and 12U. PLEASE NOTE: The actual number of teams will depend on the number of qualified players for each division level. A final determination of the number of teams will be made on May 22.
To be considered for the All Star Team, the family must complete and return the Commitment Form linked below.
Commitment Form Link
The Commitment Form should not be taken lightly. Please realize that the player and parents are making a contract with the League, their teammates and the other parents. In order for a player’s name to be placed on the All Star ballot, the parent(s) must complete and submit this Commitment Form by Monday, May 4.
All Star Ballots will be prepared and made available for distribution to the teams from May 11-15. Each player and manager will receive a ballot of All Star candidates who have committed to participate for the respective age divisions. Each player will vote for 7 players (not on their team) as noted below. Managers will also vote for 7 players, inclusive of their team’s players:
· Players in the Major Division will vote for 7 players to be on the 12-year-old team
· Players in the Major Division will vote for 7 players to be on the 11-year-old team
· Players in the Minor Division will vote for 7 players to be on the 8/9/10 year old team
· Note: Players may request to be considered for both their age division and an older age division. The League will make all final determinations if a player may play above their league age.
· Note: Eleven year olds who participated in the Minor Division during the season are eligible for the 11-year-old team
Each player and manager should vote for players they feel will best represent TSLL. The All-Star Manager will select the remaining roster players at their discretion. The selection process aims to choose a well-rounded, competitive tournament team to represent TSLL at the District and State tournaments. The final 12 player roster is not based on votes alone and may include factors such as eligibility, team needs, and overall balance. We ask all families to respect the process and support all involved players and coaches.
