Post Season
Participation Procedures
The Sunnyvale Little League Board of
Directors has crafted the following Post Season Participation Procedures, which
are effective beginning the Spring 2020 season. The post season (e.g. All Star
season) is a completely separate season than the regular season, and an
opportunity for a significantly higher level of competition against the All
Star teams from other leagues. These procedures have been established to ensure
that all players and families understand the significantly higher level of
commitment required for participation in the post season. If you have questions
regarding these procedures, please contact the league President or Player
Agents.
- Participation Procedures will be communicated to
all players in the Juniors, Majors and Minors divisions with a baseball age 8
and up as part of our general registration information. Additionally, all
registered players from these divisions and age ranges will be notified in
February, after regular season teams are formed.
- Participation Procedures will be communicated once
again to all players eligible for All Star selection when player availability
surveys are sent by the Player Agents in May.
- The league will provide an All-Star Participation
Agreement document to all players who wish to be considered for All-Star
selection. This document will outline the specific requirements and commitments
necessary to be part of the All Star program, including the player's commitment
to participate on the All Star Team until the tournament ends for that specific
team.
- Any player who wishes to be considered for
inclusion in All Star voting must have this document signed by a
parent/guardian and returned to the Player Agent by the deadline specified by
the league, in order to be included in SVLL’s All Star voting. A player
who does not return a signed agreement by the deadline will be excluded from
the All Star ballot.
- As a general rule, all players selected to an
All-Star Team must participate in all games and practices throughout the
completion of the tournament for their respective team. 12/11/10 All Stars are
eligible to advance to the District, Section, State, Regional and Little League
World Series, which may run through the end of August. 11/10/9 and 10/9/8 All
Stars are eligible to advance to the District, Section and State tournaments,
which may run through the end of July.
- Any player selected to an All-Star Team AND who
does not meet his/her participation obligation may be subject to one or more of
the following actions as prescribed by the Board of Directors:
- The player may be ineligible for future All
Star activities, including selection on subsequent All Star Teams
- The player may be ineligible for participation
in the regular season for the following season
- Family members of the player may be ineligible
for future All Star activities, including selection on future All-Star Teams
and/or coaching.
- Exemptions to a participation obligation may be
granted by the SVLL Board of Directors if mitigating circumstances arise (e.g.
player injury, bereavement, etc.). The parent/guardian shall submit a request
for exemption in writing to the SVLL Board of Directors with a description of
the circumstances which led to a player’s unfulfilled participation.
