    Posted by Pam Bryant at Jan 21, 2007 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

    Each year players and Managers vote for the players they think should represent NSLL for their All-Star teams. The voting is usually in mid May. Players and Managers can only vote for players on other teams (they can't vote for players from their own team) Players also vote for their All-Star Managers. All-Star rosters are usually announced around June 15 (this date is set by Little League). All-Star tournament games usually begin early July and last between two and four weeks (depending how far they advance) The Little League World Series is usually in late August.

    - 11 year old State Team
    - 9-10 year old State Team (sometimes called the "A Team")
    - 9-10 year old District Team (sometimes called the "B Team")
