Kyle and Remmy shared their picks of the best players in the league in the first-ever All-NVL Blog Teams earlier this week. (Hey, we thought they were pretty darned good.)
Now, it's time for the release of the official teams. See how the league's coaches voted on the All-NVL, All-Division, and All-City Teams. This is the second season in which we have had All-Division teams. (By the way, this is what we think the positions these players earned on the teams. They were not specified.)
