MANAHAWKIN, NJ — The NFHCA is honored to announce that 171 student-athletes representing 10 distinct regions have been selected to the 2023 NFHCA High School All-Region teams sponsored by The LineUp.
The high school field hockey landscape is separated into 10 separate regions: Massachusetts, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New Jersey, New York, Northern New England, Pennsylvania, South, Southern New England, and West. Each NFHCA region receives up to 16 First Team selections and Second Team selections are reflective of the active number of NFHCA scholastic and club head coach members registered in that specific region. NFHCA committees, composed of regional coach members, make selections following the review and evaluation of nominations submitted by member coaches. Over 500 All-Region High School nominations spanning 20 states were received this season.
The NFHCA High School All-Region announcement is the first of four postseason high school awards celebrated and released by the NFHCA. Subsequent announcements include the NFHCA High School All-American teams on December 11, followed by the NFHCA High School National Academic Squad and the NFHCA High School Senior Impact Team in February 2024. The nomination system for NFHCA academic awards opens to NFHCA member coaches in early January.
Honorees are listed below first by region, then alphabetically by last name. Congratulations to all!
