CGSCA ALL-STATE CRITERIA/STANDARDS

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION:

*20 field players and maximum 2 goal keepers are selected for each division.(total 22)

*All Leagues are expected top submit a Top 10 List from their all Conference elections

#1 player in the league is an automatic selection.

# 1 player in the CIAC classification/division (S, M, L, LL) is given particularly strong consideration. ( i.e. the #2 player in the league is the first S division player in the top 10). She is not an “automatic selection”.

No player ranked below another shall be selected without that higher ranked player (same class…S,M, L, LL) being selected as well. (i.e. a #4 cannot be placed on the team if all players of the same CIAC class ranked above her are not).

Players (other than automatic qualifiers) must receive a majority vote of the committee to be placed on the team.

COMMITTEE PROCEDURES:

All committee members will sign a non-disclosure form.

Player info sheets, as provided by coaches (see CGSCA web-site) shall be read and discussed by all members of the committee.

Discussion on league, including records of teams, strength of schedule, number of teams that have qualified for tournament, recent tournament results etc. is appropriate when determining/selecting the number of players from a specific league. These may be helpful as points of comparison.

Discuss the number of teams within a league. For example a player who is in the Top 10 from a league with 14 teams is vying for a spot on the same 22 player All-State team as a player from a league with 6 teams.. (The player from the 14 team conference competes with many more players for a Top 10 vote in a conference).

Discuss the high school credentials of players (past All-State, All New England) should be afforded to each candidate, but qualification/selection is based on this year’s high school performance.


Committee shall indicate in writing on the All-State Form (provided) the reasons for inclusion and exclusion from the team.

The Committee will turn in the results to the All-State Chair or to a member of the ExCom. The All-State Committee and Executive Committee reserve the right to rectify or correct any errors or oversights.
