One of the reasons I am so proud to have been named head coach of this year's 11U LDBA All Star Team is not only the sheer talent shown in the LDBA but how fantastic it was to see the sportsmanship, the laughing and getting along between all teams, despite being rivals between the lines from May to September. Just an awesome sight to see and a testament to the league's coaches and associations for building and fostering that environment.
One thing all of this talent did though, was make it extremely difficult to select a final roster. Every player is an all-star in their own right and should be very proud of their tryouts. In the end, we will field a roster of 14 and congratulations goes out to the following players in alphabetical order (by last name) for 2023:
Aaron Baker
Bennett Borrows
Preston Brodt
Bryce Coulas
Oliver Finnson
Lukas Francis
Nash Grayson
Evan James
Austin Lobsinger
Cole Rathwell
Griffin Robinson
Jake Smith
Ben Sponseller
Griffin Stewart-Ireland
Once again, thank you so much for your support of the LDBA in 2023 and thank you to all of the players who came out!
Important! For those who have made the roster: Please download the Game Changer App if you don't already have it and request parent/relative access to "LDBA All-Stars 11U" - we will be using this app for scheduling, scoring and communication over the next two weeks. See you on the field!
