[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When coaches nominate their players for these awards and submit statistics, is there every any oversight to ensure those stats are accurate? Seems open for question if you have an enthusiastic coach who pumps up her/his team stats. [/quote]

Great question. I know stat taking is often a volunteer activity done by high school students, teammates, or parents. It is greatly appreciated but I do believe there is a need to pass a quick test to ensure those taking stats really do understand the rules and are consistently recording the right data.

I did this several years ago for my DD team and listening to what other teams were recording as assists, ground balls, saves, etc was frustrating. If a players stats stand out way above the norm in areas like these there is a good chance those recording the numbers didn’t understand the rules. Draw controls and goals are easy to record and should be consistent.

Another challenge with stats is the need for more than the one person recording the stats helping to spot for stats. We had a minimum of two parents do this for high school games, so we were confident in what was being seen on the field and recorded as a stat.[/quote]
