Welcome to the 2019 10u and 12u coaches poll. This is the 10th consecutive year I have run these polls. I started when my dd was at 9u and now she is a freshman playing in college. I have seen most all there is to see in the travel ball world.
*1 Pre Season Poll, which will be held the week following the Spano Dome Tournament.
*Weekly polls will folllow starting the week after the April 27th weekend. Votes should be sent to me by either PM or Email. jeffreylsteiner@gmail.com Coaches that have my number can text me their votes also.
*This is a Coaches Poll for OHIO teams only, with only coaches or a designated person being allowed to vote. For the purposes of these polls, an Ohio team is one who is sanctioned in Ohio as a resident team. Sending me a copy of your ASA-USA sanction card is proof enough if teams challenges where a team is from.
*Each team is only allowed 1 representative (Coach) from their team to cast a vote on behalf of their team. SO get on the same page with your coaching stff so I am not getting multiple coaches from the same team trying to vote.
* Send to me in a #1 - #10 format looking like this:
1. Big City Bombers
2. Small Town Snails
3.
4.
9.
10. Southside Slappers
You get the idea..... You must submit 10 teams. If you submit anything less than 10 teams I will not count your votes for that week.
*I will assign pts as follows: #1 = 10pts, #2 = 9pts, etc down to #10 = 1pt
*Make sure you put your name and what team you are representing when sending your vote. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANONYMOUS VOTES!!
* Feel free to include some commentary on teams. I appreciate getting info on the teams from around the state.
* I will keep the voting completely confidential. I do not discuss what coaches voted for who.
* Over the years, I have had a few coaches that have had agendas in their voting style from week to week, but for the most part, I get honest opinions of how teams are ranked. I occasionally ask questions as well to coaches that I see are intentionally leaving out a certain team or has an axe to grind.
* Votes will be needed to be sent in by Tuesday at midnight to assure your vote is counted in the weekly poll. I will try to always post results by noon on Wednesday. ( I do travel quite a bit so sometimes I am a bit late but never more than a day.
* In the past I have been told that "Only the big organizations get voted for and how can a local team get recognized?" If your team is good enough to show well at bigger tournaments and continues to play good competition, you will get noticed in the polls.
I will put a "call out post" for votes on the Sunday of the Spano Tourny for both 12u and 10u.
Good Luck to all teams in 2019!
