MAX Field Hockey is excited to release the first ever All-Tournament Teams for this past weekend’s inaugural High School National Invitational at The Proving Grounds!  These athletes were identified as being the top performers from the 36 teams competing through the weekend’s 41 games (VIEW SCORES).  We named 16 athletes to each team with a minimum of 1 GK on each (we had originally said 15).  Other than a minimum of 1 GK, position was not a factor, nor was graduation year.

At the conclusion of each game, we collected nomination forms from each coach that asked for the coach’s top 2-3 performers from each team (their own and their opponent) for that game.  We also watched games, polled media, officials, scorers, college coaches and other individuals to determine our picks and did some follow-up work post-tournament.

With such an incredible amount of talent on hand for the weekend, we couldn’t stop at the 2 teams of 16 players!  We decided to add an “Additional Top Performers” category to recognize another 35 players who also deserve recognition for their impressive play.

Congratulations to the selected athletes!
