Please be aware that team numbers above DO NOT represent a guarantee that that is the total number of teams which will be formed for each division. The numbers are a maximum allowable based on our charters. In the event that there are not enough players interested in or eligible for selection for a specific boundary, it is possible that no team will be selected and due to Little League regulations concerning charters the League will be forced into a situation that will prevent us from entering a team from that said boundary and all players within that boundary, at that level will not be eligible for All Star participation.(English Translation: For example, if the Majors North League does not have enough players to field a team, then McKinney North will not be represented with a Majors All Star team. Additioanlly, the Majors players that live in McKinney North boundaries are not eligible to play on another All Star team.)
- Per Little League Rules, the 8yr old team will compete up to the district level. No higher level of competition is offered to this age group.
- The 9-10yr old team will compete until they reach the state competition level. Little League offers no higher level of competition at this age group.
- The 11-12yr old team will be competing for the chance to make it to Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series.
- TEAMS WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED UNTIL JUNE 15th.
