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 9, 2012. The nomination must be received by November 13, 2012. Send all three completed forms stapled together to all Eight Committee Members listed below postmarked on or before November 9. 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. The list will be sent to the press through the AP service, but there is no guarantee that it will be picked up or printed.

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 2011 festival since the nomination forms are handed in before the 2012 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)  Take the player’s sportsmanship into account. If the player has been given a red card and/or 3 or more yellow cards, the nomination should be documented and reviewed.

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.
