Club History
NorCal Impact started as a small club in 2008, organized by passionate parents and former players in Saratoga, CA. The club morphed into NorCal Impact under Coach Leaf's direction and alumni of Saratoga parents. These days, NorCal Impact trains players from around the area including San Jose, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Gilroy, and Saratoga. Currently, practices take place at Lynbrook HS (indoor) and Willow Glen HS (outdoors).
Our philosophy continues to be to grow the game, support equitable play, and balance quality coaching with fun to challenge players for the club season. Our coach to player ratio aims to be 1:15. We have been fortunate to find coaches that are not only knowledgeable of the game, but funny, passionate, and still fit to participate and challenge players in skills drills. Recently, several club alumni currently competing at the collegiate level and local collegiate players are helping train our athletes, providing their unique experiences and perspectives while giving back to the field hockey community.
At present, our players represent 13 different schools. Meet some of our current club members by perusing our Player Directory. We are extremely proud of our club players that have moved on to play in the college ranks and compete on USAFH national teams - check out our Club Alumni Directory.
