At the end of regular season play, our program offers each chartered league an opportunity to select an All-Star tournament team from the eligible players from within the league, from each age group. The All-Star teams compete at the District Level with the winner moving on to compete at the Division Level. The Division winners then advance to the Canadian Nationals from where the winners advance to compete in the World Series.
