Answer
Martin,

The Little League rules state that a player must try out.  I would recommend that you contact your local league board of directors with the complaint, or your local regional director.  Use this website to find contact information for your regional center: http://www.littleleague.org/learn/Regional_Websites/General_Information.htm

I hope this has helped.
