Who can play?

All-Star Teams (AAA Tier) are formed in the Minor, Major, Intermediate, Junior and Senior Divisions, assuming there are enough interested players. Additional teams, called Select Teams (AA or A Tiers), may be formed where there are enough players to have two teams in one Division.

Players may try out for the All-Star or Select Team in their Division if they meet the following criteria:

Played on a North Regina Regular Season team (for Major Division and below).
Live in or attend school within the NRLL boundaries (for Major Division and below). Boundaries for Intermediate, Junior and Senior include all of Regina and Moose Jaw (combined teams).
Are of legal age for your Division.
- Ages 9 and 10 for 10U (typically a Select team)
- Ages 9 and 10 for Minor (typically an All-Star team)
- Ages 11 and 12 for Major (All-Star and Select teams)
- Age 11-13 for Intermediate (typically an All-Star team)
- Ages 13 and 14 for Junior (typically an All-Star’ team)
- Ages 15 and 16 for Senior (typically an All-Star team)

It is mandatory that players play within their designated Division. Minor (10 year old) players who played Major during the Regular Season are eligible to play on the Minor All Star team but not the Major All-Star team.

All players who would like to play in the All-Star Season must attend evaluations. Selection criteria for All-Stars includes:

baseball skills including fielding, catching, throwing, pitching and hitting as demonstrated during evaluations and throughout Regular Season play.
commitment and availability to attend all practices, camps, games, tournaments and other team events.
knowledge of the game, attitude, sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership

What is the focus?

When is the season?

Head coaches for the All-Star teams (AAA) will be decided in March, with Assistant Coaches being named once the roster is finalized.

Team Selection

On May 31st, coaches will begin officially creating rosters from the players attending camp. Through their time at camp, coaches will have a good sense of what each player brings to the team and can now begin selecting their AAA players. Coaches for the Select (AA) teams will be named at this time and can begin choosing their roster once the AAA team has been confirmed.

Effective June 1st, both All-Star and Select coaches can contact their respective players and begin operating as intact teams. Head Coaches may now select their Assistant Coaches and begin holding practices, arranging exhibition games and attending tournaments.

All-Star Season

Officially, the All-Star season runs from July through to August. Players can expect a full schedule of practices, games and tournaments. Travel to tournaments is necessary for all Divisions. Tournaments are often out-of-province so travel is required.

Most Divisions conclude with a Canadian Championship and then a Little League World Series.

Where are games held?

The All-Star and Select teams are eligible to play in District, Provincial and National Championships.

10U Selects – They are eligible to enter the 10U Invitational Tournament as well as other local 9U & 10U Little League, Cal Ripken & Babe Ruth or Minor Invitational Tournaments.

Depending on the number of teams in Saskatchewan, they have an opportunity to represent Saskatchewan at the Intermediate Canadians.

How much does it cost?

How can I apply to coach?

Coaches of the All-Star and Select teams are chosen by the All-Star Committee, made up of members of the Board of Directors and Executive.

All-star coach applications are now being accepted here.

Once the application process opens in January, Coaches will apply on-line. Coaches will then be short-listed and interviewed by the All-Star Committee in early March. Final selection of All-Star coaches will be done by March 15th.

On May 31, coaches will finalize their rosters and can then choose their Assistant Coaches. Assistant Coaches must be approved by the All-Star Committee. Any Coach wishing to be considered for an All-Star or Select team must have coached during the Regular Season for at least 60% of the games played in that Division.

How do we register?

When are evaluations for All Star season?

There will not be a separate evaluation date for All Star season. Players will be evaluated during the regular season evaluations plus the first few weeks of regular season play.

Selection criteria for All-Stars include:

baseball skills including fielding, catching, throwing, pitching, and hitting as demonstrated during Regular Season evaluations and throughout regular season games.
commitment and availability to attend all practices, camps, games, tournaments, and other team events. Players may be asked to sign a Commitment Contract to ensure they understand the level of commitment required to play All-Stars.
knowledge of the game, attitude, sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership demonstrated throughout development camps.

All Star Eligibility

Playing in a Canadian Little League Championship is a dream for many children. Often players
will join a little league later in their baseball career in order to have an opportunity to play in a
national championship. Although we encourage this, we also want to protect the loyal players
who have played Little League all the way through. With this in mind, the following policy is in
effect immediately for the formation of all All-Star teams.

80% of the team must be players who have played Little League the season prior. This
includes North Regina, Kiwanis and Moose Jaw Little League. This also includes
players who are new to Regina or new to baseball.
20% of the team may be players who played for a different baseball league the
season prior, up to a maximum of 3 players. Board approval is required to increase
this maximum.

Rosters for tournament play are as follows:

Minor|Major|Intermediate|Junior – min is 12 players, max is 14 players
Senior – min is 12 players, max is 16 players

Coaches must coach at North Regina for two consecutive years in order to head coach
an All-Star Team. Board approval is required to waive this requirement.

There is a place for everyone to play

Programs are focused on player development

Congratulations to our 2024 All-Star Teams!

10U Team: Our 10U team took the field with enthusiasm and determination this summer, competing in the Minor AA Summerball program. Over two tournaments, they racked up an impressive 5-3 record, showcasing incredible growth and teamwork along the way. Watching these young athletes improve with each game was a true joy, and we couldn’t be prouder of the progress they’ve made. Their hard work and dedication have laid a solid foundation for the future.

Minor Team: The Minor team faced a challenging road this season, starting with a tough Provincial series against the Moose Jaw Minor AAA team. Despite winning just one game in the five-game series, they regrouped and set their sights on the Minor AA Prairies Championships in the Little League Alberta Summerball program. Competing in three tournaments, including Championship Weekend, they achieved an impressive 9-4-1 record. Their journey culminated in Championship Monday in Calgary, where they battled hard against a formidable Medicine Hat team. Though they came up short in that match, they bounced back in style, securing a well-earned bronze medal with a dominant 12-2 win over Chinook West. This team’s resilience and determination are truly inspiring.

Major AA Team: The Major AA team decided to squeeze in a little more baseball fun after the regular season by participating in a summer tournament. Their trip to Medicine Hat was filled with excitement, camaraderie, and plenty of on-field action. While the tournament was about enjoying the game and spending time together, it also gave them the chance to refine their skills and build lasting memories. We hope they had an amazing time and cherish the experience.

Major AAA Team: What a season it’s been for our Major AAA team! They dominated the Moose Jaw All Stars in the Provincial series, sweeping their way to the Canadian Little League Championships in Kingston, Ontario. But their accomplishments didn’t stop there. We are incredibly proud to announce that our Major All-Star team has been honored with the prestigious Joe Shea Award for being the most sportsmanlike team! 🏆

Though the season might not have gone exactly as planned, these athletes showed the true essence of sportsmanship. Every game brought its challenges, but our team faced them with unwavering resilience, respect, and heart. Their dedication, teamwork, and positive spirit have turned their journey into a remarkable success. Thank you, Major All-Stars, for representing our league with such class and integrity. You’ve made us all incredibly proud! 🙌

Junior All-Stars: The Junior All-Stars showed incredible tenacity and skill at the Canadian Little League Championships, where they finished 4th in the nation. Each game was a hard-fought battle, with close scores that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Their performance on the national stage was a testament to their hard work, determination, and passion for the game. We're incredibly proud of these young men and can't wait to see what they achieve next year. Their journey has only just begun, and the future looks bright for this talented group.
