High School Program for 2008-2009
o The Silicon Valley NJB High School (HS) Program is for boys in 9th through 12th grades who choose not to play on their high school teams. NJB does not have a HS program for girls. NJB’s High School teams are only for boys who don’t participate on their school team, as California Interscholastic Federation prohibit high school students from playing on a club team while playing for their high school.
o There are two levels of NJB HS play:
§ Junior Varsity, for 9th and 10th graders
§ Varsity, for 11th and 12th graders
o Games are on Sundays, starting December 14th and continuing through February. There will be a single elimination tournament at the end of the season. All games will be played at a single gym, tentatively Santa Clara High School.
o Tentatively, 6 Silicon Valley chapters (of 13 total chapters) will field teams, giving the league 6-7 Varsity teams and 8-9 JV teams.
o IMPORTANT: Redwood will only field a team if a coach steps forward. The coach will then recruit from the registered players and through his/her contacts. Then Redwood can assign practice times thereafter.
o The deadline for submitting a team and payment to Silicon Valley NJB is Monday, December 1, 2008.
o News of a coach(es)being identified for the HS program will be posted on the home page www.redwoodnjb.org. Please check back frequently between now and December 1.
o All registrants will have fees refunded in full should there not be a Redwood HS team.
