These kids that worked so hard and have done so well deserve recognition for what they have accomplished. It gives them that good feeling that they have done something really good and people actually care. They earned the right to be there and represent themselves in front of the rest of the league. They earned to play with the best there is, even if it is just once. Listen to what the Little League has to say about the topic of being rewarded.
Children wish to be recognized for their accomplishments just as adults do.
All-Star games are the fairest thing you can have. These kids are the best at what they do and all the coaches know it. Showing the rest of the parents and community that they are the best is the least we could do for them. That should never happen. If those kids who don t make it to the All-Star game take it as a knock on them, then they have to reevaluate their goals.
