[quote=Anonymous]OP, that sucks.  You almost always see a certain of favoritism, but what you experienced is at the extreme end.  For some reason, Little League seems a little more associated with this than other sports.  A couple ideas are:

1. Try to network and hook up with another coach in the league that is more fair minded and needs pitching or allows more kids to pitch
2. Kind of forget about All Stars.  There is a lot of machination around Little League All Stars and you cannot count on a fair shake.  Unless your kid is flat out dominant, it is hard to get in from the outside.  A more common story I have heard is the All Star teams are basically pre-selected from the travel teams associated with the Little League.  Your league's All Star team is probably not going anywhere anyways especially if it is run like you describe.
3. Consider travel baseball if your kid is really into baseball. You may be able to to find a travel team that is a better situation. The situation you have encountered has led others into travel baseball and lacrosse.  Not recommending it, but it is an option.[/quote]
