9 All Star Binders Process Team All Star Binder for Each Division One of the main responsibilities you have as a league player agent is to assemble the All Star Teams Binders for each division of Softball and Baseball. It is strongly recommended that you divide this responsibility up. If you follow this recommended format your league will be prepared for the All Star competition. It is also your responsibility to communicate to the All Star Parents group exactly what is expected. Remind the parents this documentation is required as part of the Little League rules.

10 Team Affidavit Form This is a check form for District personnel to review all player documents. The online form is forth coming. This form should be placed in the front of your All Star binder. Make sure you use the correct sport specific affidavit for Softball or Baseball. Make sure this form has all accurate information on the players. You will also need to make sure the League President signs off on this form.

11 League Map You must include a league map that includes the following; Your league boundaries The addresses for all players on this specific divisional team All addresses must be plotted and shown on the map Any players outside of your boundaries must have waivers explaining their eligibility.

13 Charter Information Report This form can be found on the Little League Data Center.
