re: Explain little league baseball and all star teams for me (EBR/ascension)

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.
