2009 North Central Region Men's Soccer Information

NCCAA NC Region Coaches,

Greetings coaches in our NCCAA district!  I’m attempting to find out if I have everyone and if we can get some business done by email.  I am the new Region Chairman for soccer and my name is Brian McMahon from Greenville College.  My hope is that we can do our best as a region to conduct business through the email process.

It is important that you all send me your weekly scores so that you can be included in Top 10 voting, which has already started with a Pre-Season Poll.  If you can just have your SID, assistant coach, yourself, or anyone include me in results, that would be very helpful.

As we near the end of the season, I will need to know which of you are interested in participating in our regional tournament.  We must have our regional tournament concluded by a certain date in November, so we should keep current with each of you by late October.  I will keep checking in with you.  Depending on how many teams want to compete in our regional tournament we can set up the format. The date and the format for scenarios will be sent out to you shortly after reviewing with the National Chair Ben Belleman from Cedarville.

Seeding is done by using the Longo Rating System.  We traditionally have a final four on the last Friday and Saturday of that final week but I know many like to wait to see results of conference and regional play.  We usually have a deadline of Tuesday, November 7 to declare if you want to participate.

Near the end of October, we will also ask for all-region nominations and then do a ballot to vote for all-region players.  This is important to take part in because it helps us determine the NCCAA All-American team.

If I have forgotten anything or if you have questions, please let me know.  I believe that we can get all of our business done by email and I’m willing to do whatever I can to help this process.  Thanks so much for all your help and again as I am the new regional chair I will do my best to stay up to speed with all relevant info relating to our region.
