Selection Information!

All-star Selection Information!

Coaches, the season is winding down. Thanks for all you have done. All in all it has been a good year with some minor bumps along the way. You have one more major item to handle, All-star Selection.  Remember, Think competitively and don't let emotions guide your nominations.

1. Please check with the parents of your nominations to verify that they will be available from the start of all-star practice until the time we finish all stars (hopefully for some that will be early August, World Series). For your convenience the all-star selection rules are provided here (link to all-star selection rules).
    

2. If you want to play other baseball outside the season, please do so, but remember who brought you to the dance. Loyalty is something that is sorely missing in today's hustle, bustle, highest bidder society. Come all-stars your loyalties should be with LDYB. Take pride in representing your community and let's get to the next level.
    

3. Important note! You cannot participate on another team outside  Dixie once the all-star tournaments start and until your team is eliminated from further play.
