re: Metairie representing in La Dixie Youth state championship

At Lafayette Little League the major division is comprised of 11-12 yr olds only and is re-drafted each year. Also there is a rule in place that in order to participate in all stars a player must have been in the league the previous year. This was put in place to prevent 12 yr olds jumping into the league just for all stars.

---

that rule was removed this year. Can play all stars if you play rec ball as a 12 year old.

and what he was saying, was all the kids are travel kids that come back for 1 or 2 years while still playing travel just to try and make the LLWS.

That wasnt happening before Eastbank won. now it is again, we shall see if trend continues.

So yes the all star team is made up of travel ball players but chances are they play on different travel teams. BUT the common denominator is they all played a full season in the Rec league. The kid has to play a minimum number of games to eligible for all stars.

this is exactly what he was saying

Also LLL plays majority of the games during the week to free up the kids and families to do whatever they want on weekends
