Airdrie Little League All-Stars
Airdrie Little League welcomes all eligible players to consider trying out for one of our summer All-Star teams.
All-Star Tournament Teams will consist of up to 13 talented players who wish to take their skills to the next level and represent our league in a highly competitive environment. If you are passionate about baseball and ready to showcase your abilities, this is the perfect chance!
Please see important information below. Registration will open to current Airdrie Little League members in early June.
The 2024 Summer All-Star program will start in June and run until divisional tournaments August long. The All-Star team selections will be based on eligibility, skill/ability, and availability.
Ideally, players would be available for the entire period between June to August, but there may be exceptions. Most games will be on the weekends in July and August, with practices during the week.
Don't assume that All-Stars is not an option just because a player will be gone for a week. There can be some flexibility, particularly for our A, AA, AAA level teams.
The level of play for All Stars is a big step up compared to house league play, and games are generally played in accordance with the LL Rulebook as opposed to house league rules.
