ALL-STATE VARSITY TEAMS
Coaches... Login in this website and cast your votes for the 2009 All State High School Racquetball teams. Only Varsity coaches will have the opportunity to vote and only boys teams can vote for boys and girls teams can vote for girls.
All State teams represent who you (as coaches) think best represent the league in all aspects of the league. Beyond the individual on court performances, consider sportmanship, leadership, and team work. Consider these 'All Star' teams and cast votes for who you think would be the best players in the league to fill out your first team, second team, and honorable mention team.
Remember also that you can vote for anyone... each team will have 6 singles players and a doubles team. The six singles players can be the #1 seed from 6 different schools... it's whatever you think best represents each team. The doubles teams must be selected from the teams who were paired up for the season.
There is also a Sportsmanship Award. While you can vote for your own players for the All State Awards, you cannot vote for someone from your own team for the Sportsmanship Award. You must select a student from another Varsity team with your vote.
How do you vote? Login (COACHES: LOGIN TO THE WEBSITE HERE) and click on the button that says 'Click Here to Vote'. Then 1) Click on Edit to select a player or team for a given spot. Next 2) Select a Name from the drop down menu. Lastly 3) Click on Update to submit your entry.
All voting must be complete by 10 am on Friday, March 14th. All results will be announced on this website after 1pm on Friday, March 13th. These players that make the All State Teams will be recognized at the League Banquet on Tuesday, March 31.
