OSAAtoday - Girls soccer coaches polls: Preseason

2019 Pre-season statewide girls soccer coaches polls

OSAAtoday presents its first statewide girls soccer coaches polls of 2019 in all classifications. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.

Look for the girls soccer coaches polls every other week during the fall season.

Please note that we need more participation going forward. If you are a high school varsity girls soccer head coach who did not vote but would like to, please email John Tawa at johnt@osaa.org.

Also note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
