This is the fourth edition of the 2017 High School Power Rankings, presented by Spin Ultimate! The rankings can be permanently found on our Youth Rankings page.
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!

- Additional results from the Seattle spring season helped reshape the top of the rankings. Nathan Hale topped Ingraham 10-8 and Ingraham beat Franklin 8-5.
- Durham has beaten CFS already this season so the adjustments after the YULA Invite have been corrected.
- North Allegheny blew out Allderdice and jumps into the rankings at #24
