I "spread the wealth" when choosing an All-Area team. It's not accurate, and neither is All-Region, but it's one more thing to help recognize our girls that play soccer. I'd much rather they have it and be off a tick, than not have it at all. At the end of the year, I would dread one more meeting with all the other coaches driving to some remote place to argue with teams of all classifications over the top players...having just participated in near identical All Region, North South, and Clash of the Carolina's meetings.
