The first major update of the HS Power Rankings!
March 23, 2017 by Charlie Eisenhood in Rankings with 0 comments
This is our second edition of the 2017 High School Power Rankings, presented by Spin Ultimate! The rankings can be permanently found on our newly created Youth Rankings page.
After lots of feedback and some early season tournament results, the rankings have had some big adjustments this week. They will continue to be a bit jumpy during the early part of the season as they get calibrated. The rankings will eventually be used to determine the initial invitations to the 2017 High School National Invite; currently, we plan to use the rankings published the week of May 1st as the final rankings before bids are sent out (subject to change).
If you have additional information about tournaments or team strength that you would like to be considered for the High School Power Rankings, please email [email protected]. We are also offering rolling bids to the National Invite for teams that have clearly proven to belong solidly above rank 16 and would benefit from additional travel planning time. For more information, email us.
Teams, if you would like to add logos and team information to your Team Pages, follow these instructions!
Without further ado, here are the Top 25 teams in the Boys’ and Girls’ High School Divisions!
