Coaches may submit athletes for All Region recognition up until the Monday evening of MHSAA Districts week. Nominations may be submitted through the MIVCA website nomination portal, and Region Representatives work to evaluate as many athletes across the state as possible throughout the season.

All MIVCA varsity coaches and Region Representatives within each region meet to select their All Region Teams. Once an athlete has been chosen to their Region Team by the varsity coaches in that region, they become eligible for All State consideration.

At the State level, representatives are looking for impact players from across Michigan—not just the top athletes within each region. Each division selects three All State teams of 12 members each, along with an Honorable Mention team of 24 recipients. In total, 240 athletes (60 from each division) are recognized with All State honors every year.
