The District 31 Little League Juniors, Majors, 10-11 year-old and 9-10 year-old All-Star tournaments are set to begin on June 22.
Poway American, Poway National, Rancho Bernardo and the 4S Ranch Little Leagues have all selected their all-star teams and are preparing for a run at the District 31 championship banner.
The Majors Division is being hosted by Del Mar Little League, which means all games will be played at Sage Canyon. First-round action in the 14-team tournament features matchups between Poway National and Escondido National, Encinitas National and 4S Ranch, Encinitas American and Rancho Bernardo and Carmel Mountain Ranch and Poway American.
The Majors Division is the most popular of the all-star tournaments. The journey to South Williamsport, the location of the Little League World Series, is followed by many worldwide. The start of the Little League World Series is slated for Aug. 15.
The District 31 Juniors Division is being hosted by 4S Ranch Little League (Poway American and 4S Ranch are the lone two local leagues with a team). The 10-11 year-old Division is being hosted by 4S Ranch Little League and the 9-10 year-old Division is being hosted by Poway National Little League.
