Can someone post all the CIF-SS Open Div teams

3

I believe that they are posted on the CIFSS website.

4

you need a coach to post the full list

5

Perhaps Jeff or Joel can post all the CIF teams here since they have already started posting the other sections above? Also, maybe they can also shed some light on the process of how the CIF teams and League teams are selected. Most of us are in the dark about all this. I know it’s a bit of a pipe dream but it would be great to see them all in one place.

6

There is a meeting all coaches who make the playoffs in each division are invited. They each get to nominate their players and the coaches vote. traditionally the MVP is from the winning team, then they get a couple first teamers and a couple second teamers. runner up usually gets a couple first teamers and it trickles down. Unless a player is a true standout you have to make the quarters to make the second team. A few rare kids can get second team with a first round loss. It is mostly political beyond the first team, that is why CIF probalby does not promote those teams.

When there are co-players of the year, is there an actual tie in the voting, or is that how the coach nominates their players?

8

mostly coaches agree before the meeting (if they are separate teams) or coach pushes for that for their own team and everyone agrees that is a good idea. I would assume player of the year is a separate vote, vote for POY, then vote for First team. then vote for second and HM. all separate votes, so coaches fail on first team they try again for second team and then honorable mention.

Here is a description of the selection process for the All-Central Coast Section teams that I received from Jack Bowen, Menlo School coach and 2x NCAA champion at Stanford:

"Here’s what I hope to be a hopeful overview of the All-CCS Selection process. I head this process–in that I run all communication through coaches and conduct the meeting–and thought I’d share how it all works.

"I invite all CCS coaches to a meeting taking place the week after Thanksgiving to pick the All-CCS Teams. For coaches who cannot attend, some do send in requests for their respective players. Otherwise, all the coaches who do attend are essentially charged with one task: Select the best players in CCS (and rank the top 15 as those rankings go on to the All-NorCal selection committee).

"We essentially sit in a room and discuss, one by one, the players who should be considered for each spot. For example, we all suggest who we think should be considered the top player (i.e., the Player of the Year) and from that grouping of players, we vote. Then we move on to the second player, etc.

"Coaches of players do not need to attend in order to have their players selected. For example, on this year’s First Team, there are 2 players who made that list who did not have their coaches in attendance, likewise with the Second Team having 2 players whose coaches could not attend. And while a team’s final placement (i.e., Open Division) is considered, it’s certainly not a necessary criterion, as evidenced by 4 players on this year’s First and Second teams who were not on Open Division teams.

"Then, the following week, I have a zoom call w/3 other coaches from the 3 other NorCal sections (NCS, Central, Sac-Joaquin) and we have our respective lists that we work through to create the All-NorCal list. It’s a similar process to what I described above.

“I hope this is helpful to you and those who are understandably interested. It’s not a perfect system by any means, but I’m actually quite proud of the collegiality and professionalism of the CCS coaches who work to recognize these players in the best way we can.”

CIF SS Open list is available for 1st-3rd teams but they come from the coaches. I’ve seen the 1st-3rd team lists for our school but other school info is not listed. I think each individual coach deals with it differently.

17

That doesn’t seem to make sense since we’ve seen complete listings of teams from several different sections and divisions here and on social media. Not sure why CIF doesn’t just post everything. You would think coaches would love to shout all their players names from the rooftops lol

19

JFran,
Sounds like CIF Southern Section ONLY does first team, so where does this list come from?

20

Not JFran but I have been present at several All CIF-SS postseason meetings.

At the meeting, coaches select three teams, but only the first team selected is the published list for All CIF. The remaining two teams are released at individual coach discretion which usually means each team finds out at their banquet. There is a list and it is distributed, but you have to be a coach who was at that meeting and voted to really get it or know a coach willing to release the entire list.

In the past, that list wasn’t that hard to track down, but it seems like maybe the instruction given to coaches about that has changed since I stopped coaching.

As to why that is the case, I have heard various reasons but none have been from someone connected to CIF directly. Although I’d imagine Palle or whichever commissioner is in charge of water polo now at CIF could tell you if you asked directly.
