Ross,
No I do not coach. I help out once in a while when asked but other than that I typically only work individually with my son.
The three LL's in our city are divided into the American (where my son plays), National, and Central. Each leagues top division (aka Majors) has around 5 teams. All three leagues play interleague games so there is some travel, which is fun for the kids. Each league has their own All-Star team. The past two years the All-Star team from the National league has gone to the Regional tournament in Indianapolis. Two years ago they lost to an Iowa team that went to the LL World Series and last year they lost to a team that then lost in the championship to go to the LL World Series.
This year it would appear that the American league is the better league in the city. My son's team could realistically have 5-6 players on the All-Star team, although that isn't likely. They are a good team, but would struggle against top travel teams. The All-Star team would hold their own but a team made up of the 12 best players, regardless of the league they play in, would be very competitive within the state. That's what my son has to look forward to next year (if he makes the team).
I hope that answers your questions.
I don't have any pictures off hand but I've got a couple of game clips.
