SELECTION OF MR/MS SOCCER IN EACH GENDER AND CLASS

The Section Representatives for each Gender and Class will comprise the 4 Mr./Ms. Soccer Selection Committees.


Using the above criteria, each Committee will identify 5 candidates in each Gender and Class who are worthy of receiving the Awards.


The Past President will put together and gather the ballots for all Genders and Classes at the All-State Selection Committee Meeting.


The Committees will take a secret paper ballot ranking the candidates from 5 to 1 (where 5 is considered most worthy).


The Past President, along with the All-State Director, will tabulate the ballots to determine who the Mr./Ms. Soccer Award recipient is for each Gender and Class.
