GUIDELINES
The SCHSSCA sponsors an All-State Team for each classification that awards an individual state champion. The following guidelines should be followed when selecting the All-State Team.
• Committee members are expected to "do their homework" prior to attending the meeting in order to ensure that the meetings are efficient and thorough.
• Please check personal egos and agendas at the door prior to the meeting.
• An 18 player All-State Team will be selected for: Boys – Class 4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A; Girls – Class 4A, 3A, and 2A/1A.
• The All-State Award is based on 2008 performance only – not past accomplishments or achievements.
• All teams will consist of at least one goalkeeper.
• Consideration for all geographic areas of the state should be taken into account.
• This is a High School award and club participation and performances should not be the deciding factor.
• If a player is going to attend a NCAA major Division I school, then he/she should be strongly considered for inclusion.
• NSCAA All-American(s) and All-South players should be strongly considered.
• Priority for selection should be for players that have played and contributed to high-level programs – i.e. – ranked teams.
• We are looking to select the strongest 18 players regardless of position or year in school. However, if a tie-breaker should exist, preference should go to the older player.
• Players selected to the Clash of the Carolinas all-star team should be strongly considered for inclusion.
