The Green Division is the entry point to the NCWHL, combining beginning players with those that have acquired basic skills. The Green division has no minimum requirements. Evaluation of skill does not occur. The skill set of a green player is any player who does not meet the criteria for the red division Each team is assigned a coach who will help with individual player and team development The season consists of pre-game learning sessions, games and practices, additional pickup and subbing opportunities may be available dependant on ice availability. The green division is a great place to learn how to play hockey in a fun, encouraging environment while also offering a competitive environment for basic level skaters to build upon their skills. GREEN DIVISION COACHING GUIDELINE Click here for the PDF version of coaching guidelines for Green division. CHANGING DIVISIONS Hockey requires drills, conditioning and practice to improve ability and leg strength needed to advance into a new division. The NCWHL recommends skating more than once a week to improve your chance of succeeding in division evaluations. Recommended steps to improve skills Attend all Green practices Play in every game Seek sub opportunities in your division and the level above [subject to division sizes] Speak with your coaches about what skills need work Skate at Public Ice sessions Skate at Sharks Ice Stick Times [see rinks for schedules] Attend skating and shooting clinics Evaluations are held twice a year prior to a new season. This is the only method for changing divisions. Refer to http://www.ncwhl.com/rules/placements.shtml for further information.
