Pennsylvania High School Field Hockey Coaches’ Association All-State Team Nominating Procedures & Forms

**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. SOME GUIDELINES ARE NEW.

These are the procedures and forms for nominating your player(s) for All-State consideration. Please follow them carefully so that you do not jeopardize your player’s chances for selection to the team.  Your membership to PHSFHCA must be up-to-date and current for your players to be recognized by the association. Please contact Janelle Kern to check your membership (717-503-8419). If you are a first-year coach, you may become a member by sending a letter from your Athletic Director on school letterhead along with your dues and membership application.  Nomination postmark deadline is November 12, 2010. The nomination must be received by November 16, 2010. Send all three completed forms stapled together to all Six Committee Members listed below postmarked on or before November 12. Make sure that you have completed either an Individual Field Player Stat Sheet or a Goalkeeper Stat Sheet as well as the Nomination Form and Criteria Sheet for each player. If they are received after this date, they will not be considered.  Coaches must fill out the forms completely. Staple all three pages of your nomination form together.  Rank your players.  You will be responsible to notify the press in the event your player is selected. Selected players will be announced at the December meeting and listed in the winter newsletter.

If you should have any questions regarding the process please call one of the committee members. CLARIFICATIONS ON CRITERIA FOR NOMINATION 1) The committee will not delineate between the various categories of all-scholastic, all-county, all-area, all-league, etc. 2) Participation in Keystone Summer Games means those players that made the junior and scholastic region teams through a tryout. On the list, the Keystone Games signifies the summer games immediately before your season. You are required to list the team the player played on. 3) National Festival Pool Champion signifies the 2009 festival since the nomination forms are handed in before the 2010 festival. 4) Please make sure you are honest about your players selections to National teams, JO’s, ODS, FDIC, EPTC etc. The committee checks to make sure the information given is accurate. 5) If you do not list the futures site, we will not include it in the criteria count. 6) District and state recognition signifies PIAA competitions. This is not meant for club or travel teams. Only state or District PIAA competitions count. 7) Please make sure your tally of criteria is correct. 8) All coaches need to make sure they fill out the nomination forms. No parents or players should fill out these forms. You, as the coach, are signing your name stating that all the information is correct. 9) After much debate at the last meeting, the committee continues to feel strongly that no athlete should be nominated for all state if the athlete has received a “red” card or numerous “yellow” cards during the season. However, there were concerns that a “red” card might be issued unjustly. If a coach is going to nominate a player who was given a red card, a clear and detailed explanation of why it was unjustly received should accompany the nomination.

The all-state selection committee will contact the PIAA and request a list of schools that have had field hockey players receive red cards during the course of the season. If necessary, a committee member will be in contact with the head coach to discuss the circumstances involved.

The selection committee is asking that all coaches respect their request. If there are any questions please direct them to the all-state selection committee.
