There are a dozen leagues or so. Which ones form all star teams? What age does it start at?

Got a kid in his third league in three years. Just been having fun with it, but he seems pretty decent at the game.

Parish league = no all star

City league=travel ball
Travel ball is where the allstars come from.

You definitely want to try and get your kid on the gonzales team. They have a long history of winning, producing pro prospects, and having success nationally.

In Dixie you play a season then the coaches pick the all star team. Usually every division of the league will have one. For example West Monroe will have 2-3 teams for the same age group. They'll play a district tournament and then move on to state. Teams usually start in pitching machine. Not sure about other places, but around here pretty much coaches' sons make up the team. There are exceptions, but the majority of the team that seems to be the case. Now whether they're selected because of GOB network or because they're the best players since Dad works with them more is up for debate.

I dont think leagues really form all star teams anymore.. At least not in the leagues we've played.. Most of the kids/teams either play tournaments or tryout for all-star/tournament teams outside of league.

My oldest plays on a hybrid, play both league with a smattering of tournaments until league is over. All kids from same school and a blast for the kids and the parents. He then will probably play on a higher classification tournament team through July and then on to Football.

I've been umpiring since I was 15 I'm 27 now.. But rec ball in my area has just taken a nose dive.. There are 4 to 5 travel teams for each age group now.. Coaches can't coach in rec and travel teams IMO play way to many games.. Growing up we had 1 select team and that was put together when we were 12

Sign your kid up for city ball in Gonzales if you want him to be worth a shite.
