I also am involved in Dixie Youth baseball (coaching and umpiring). We have the same problem as it seems everyone else has. Daddys coaching teams and campaigning for his son to make the all-stars. We have had fist fights and friendships broken over the selections. We went to our Recreation Director with an idea of selecting all-strs on all levels. Designate a 10 member commitee, make sure they have no relationship with any of the boys or the coaches. Keep the commitee private and let them make the selections at the end of the year all-star meeting. The decisions will unbiased and fair.
