Southern California is one of the premier hotbeds of girls basketball talent in the world, and the 2021-22 CIF basketball season was another great reminder. Three national championship contenders called SoCal home this past season, as did dozens more elite teams and hundreds more renowned programs – not to mention many of the top individual stars in the sport. With that being said, here are SBLive's All-SoCal girls basketball teams for 2021-22. 

For all of our end-of-season girls basketball awards, the main criteria are individual statistics and team success relative to strength of schedule. Any other intangible contributions that substantially affected players' overall impacts on winning were considered. Looking at both regular season and playoff success were major parts of the decision process, and we also took in the opinions of coaches all across the area.
