and national level. To this end, we will field "tiered" teams in all age groups in which the number of players is sufficient to permit fielding of 2 teams. In age groups with only one team, opportunities will be available to practice and play as a member of a developmental squad. All players will compete in the local SIHL series, but the rosters for the higher level tournaments (AAU, NARCH) will be selected by the coaching staff to field the strongest, most competitive teams. The specific goals of each team will be established as the squads are formed, but the fundamental goal of our organization is always to compete at the highest level of tournament play appropriate to the make up of each team. Players can and will move between rosters based on developing skills of individual players and team goals to compete at the highest appropriate level for a given squad. Organization
Norcal Extreme is a nonprofit organization managed by a board of directors who are responsible for all decisions that are made in response to recommendations from the coaches and a committee of parent representatives from each team. The intent is to allow the coaches to focus their efforts on player and team development while the board and parent representatives take care of administrative tasks. Coaches from each team, together with parent representatives, coordinate activities both within the individual teams and between teams in the organization. Season
Tournament hockey involves a commitment to an extended season. Each team will practice on average 3 hours each week and participate in one to two tournaments each month. Tryouts are in October, practice and warm-up tournaments are held in the late fall. The season begins in November, and depending on tournaments ended will end at latest in July. Eligibility

Player eligibility for the upcoming season is determined by their age on January 1 of the upcoming year. Girls may play a year longer in each age group, e.g., 11 year-old girls may play in the 10s division. Coaches
Current coaching assignments for the other age groups are still are determined on an annual basis. In addition, each age level will have assistant coaches who will help with practice and travel with teams to tournaments as either the assistant or primary coach, depending upon staffing commitments.
