posted 05/08/2012
Dear Parents & Players,
This year, Monroe Little League (MLL) is looking to field two post-season (summer) baseball teams for each of the 9, 10, 11 and 12 year-old age groups as follows:
12 Year Old District ALL-STARS
11 Year Old District ALL-STARS
10 Year Old District ALL-STARS
9 Year Old Non-District ALL-STARS |
12 Year Old Travel Team
11 Year Old Travel Team
10 Year Old Travel Team
9 Year Old Travel Team
8 Year Old Travel Team* |
*We are hoping to put together an 8 year old, non-district travel team. Information about this will be forthcoming at a future date.
All age eligible MLL baseball players are encouraged to participate.
While the Spring Season promotes instruction, inclusion and fun, the Little League ALL-STAR and Travel Teams are about developing advanced skills, promoting competition, and the development of a winning attitude.
We understand that some players thrive in this kind of environment and other players do not. It is important for parents to understand this upfront also and make this distinction for themselves as well as for their child.
The ALL-STAR and Travel Teams practice and play at a much higher energy level than the regular season teams, as the expectations increase for both the players and parents.
Please read the attached information carefully to fully understand the process.
Sincerely,
Philip L. Hayes
Monroe Little League Player Agent
General 2012 ALL-STAR Team Information

If you do not want your 11 or 12 year old child to be considered for the ALL-STAR team and would like his or her name removed from the ballot, please send an email to the MLL Player Agent (
) by midnight on May 11th.
The 9 year old non-district and the 10 year old district ALL-STAR teams are picked based on tryouts which will be held on June 3rd. All players interested in being considered for the 9 or 10 year old ALL-STAR teams MUST be in attendance at the tryout.
