About & sources

How each league’s standings are computed, where the data comes from, and every disagreement with the sources. This is an unofficial, fan-built scoreboard for the 102 girls varsity field hockey teams in SCVAL, BVAL, PCAL, MCAL, EAL, Sunset, City, North, Metro and the Southern Section’s five independents. Every number on it is either read from a public source and shown as-is, or computed from public game results by rules published below. Nothing is guessed, and every disagreement we find with a source is published rather than quietly resolved.

Data sources

Covers the CIF Central Coast Section (SCVAL, BVAL, PCAL), the North Coast Section’s MCAL, the Northern Section’s EAL, the Southern Section’s Sunset field hockey league and the San Diego Section’s City, North and Metro conferences, plus the Southern Section’s five independents (Bonita, Chaminade, Glendora, Harvard-Westlake and Thousand Oaks), schools in no field hockey league. Other teams appear only as opponents. The latest update covers all 102 teams and 969 games (551 of them league games): 957 final scores, 4 not yet reported.

MaxPrepsPrimary source
Team schedules, scores, league standings tables and school colors come from MaxPreps’ own public data feed, the same one that powers its team and league pages. We read it and never write to it. Each school’s mascot comes from MaxPreps too (or, where that image is too small to show well, from SBLive/SI or the school’s own website), copied to this site rather than hotlinked, so pages never load images from elsewhere. Each team page’s roster and season player stats come from MaxPreps too, for all 102 teams in all nine leagues and the five Southern Section independents: whatever the coach entered, with anything nobody published left blank. Other public sources, such as a school’s own athletics site, only fill a blank MaxPreps leaves: the team page marks every roster value that came from one, and its Sources row links each page behind those values and behind the coaches it names.MaxPreps field hockey (opens in a new tab)
High School on SI (si.com)Secondary · checks scores and fills some gaps
Sports Illustrated’s high-school stats site (formerly SBLive) publishes its own scoreboard. We compare every final score with it, and publish its score only under the fixed rules listed under Scores taken from si.com.

The CIF Southern Section’s schedule-and-score site, where schools from several Sections, ours among them, enter their own schedules and scores. We compare its scores with MaxPreps’ and list every difference in the cross-check log. Nothing from it is published as a score, record or standing.cifsshome.org scores (opens in a new tab)

The rules quoted under EAL rules come from the CIF Northern Section’s Field Hockey Guidelines 2026-28. The EAL publishes no schedule or standings document of its own. Its league games are the games MaxPreps marks as league games; on Oct 4 all 30 of them matched, by date and home side, the 2026 league grid posted on the EAL/SRL umpires’ site (fieldhockeyumpires.org). Chico, Corning, Lassen and Pleasant Valley are Northern Section schools; Davis and Bella Vista are Sac-Joaquin Section schools that play field hockey in the EAL.CIF Northern Section field hockey (opens in a new tab)Northern Section Field Hockey Guidelines 2026-28 (PDF) (opens in a new tab)
SunsetSunset field hockey league · SS
The rules quoted under Sunset rules come from the CIF-SS Blue Book 2026-27, Article 200 (Field Hockey). No Sunset document exists that we could find: no league site, bylaws, schedule or standings. The eight teams here are eight of the ten in MaxPreps’ Sunset table in 2024-25 and 2025-26; the other two, Bonita and Chaminade, are listed with the LA independents (that group’s note says why). For 2026-27, MaxPreps’ table lists three of the eight, with Bonita and Chaminade, and assigns the five Orange County schools to no league; si.com’s table (also shown on the Southern Section’s scores site) lists six of the eight, with Bonita, Chaminade, and Westlake and Los Alamitos with no games, and puts Chaparral and Temecula Valley in a separate table. This site counts every game between two of the eight outside a tournament as a Sunset game, whether or not MaxPreps marks it as one: MaxPreps’ flag follows whoever entered the game (it marks one of Great Oak’s two games with Temecula Valley and none of the Orange County schools’ games against each other except Edison’s), so no two sources agree on a record. Teams play different numbers of games. The Sunset here is a field hockey grouping of eight Southern Section schools in Orange and Riverside counties, not the all-sports Sunset League.CIF Southern Section field hockey (opens in a new tab)CIF-SS Blue Book 2026-27, Field Hockey (PDF) (opens in a new tab)

LA independentsNo league · SS
No league gathers these five schools. Glendora, Harvard-Westlake and Thousand Oaks are the only field hockey teams in their all-sports leagues on MaxPreps (the Palomares League, League B and the Marmonte League). MaxPreps and si.com list Bonita and Chaminade in the Sunset, but MaxPreps marks none of their games against the five Orange County Sunset teams as a league game, and each plays every other independent home and away, so this site lists them here. The table counts every game between two of the five, whether or not MaxPreps marks it as a league game (it marks only Bonita’s two games with Chaminade), and orders them by this site’s 3-1-0 points. The Southern Section rules that apply to their games, and how the table is ordered, are under LA independents, from the CIF-SS Blue Book 2026-27, Article 200 (Field Hockey).CIF Southern Section field hockey (opens in a new tab)CIF-SS Blue Book 2026-27, Field Hockey (PDF) (opens in a new tab)

The CIF-SDS Green Book 2026-27, Bylaw 2000.1 (Field Hockey) sets the section’s rules for City, North and Metro; we found no league rules, schedule or standings document for them. The San Diego Section holds its own field hockey playoffs; see Postseason below. MaxPreps does not get every one of its playoff games, so a playoff game MaxPreps has no contest or no score for takes the score the Section posts on its bracket sheet, marked † with the words “Score via the CIF San Diego Section”. Where MaxPreps has a final, its score stands.SDS field hockey (opens in a new tab)SDS bracket sheet (opens in a new tab)CIF-SDS Green Book 2026-27, Bylaw 2000.1 (Field Hockey) (Google Doc) (opens in a new tab)

When MaxPreps has never published a result for a game that a league’s official schedule says was scheduled — today that is 1 game — it is listed as scheduled per the league rather than silently dropped.

Last season (2025-26): the 2025-26 archive has final standings and all-league awards for SCVAL and BVAL, each from that league’s own documents (SCVAL’s two PDFs; BVAL’s standings sheet and all-league documents), because MaxPreps only ever serves the current season. PCAL, MCAL, EAL, Sunset, City, North and Metro are marked unavailable: we found no official 2025-26 final standings, and we do not fill the gap with standings or awards from third-party sites or newspapers. The LA independents are this site’s grouping, so no table of them was published. The archive links what MCAL and the San Diego Section did publish officially (2025 All-MCAL Field Hockey Team and 2025 CIFSDS playoff brackets (Google Sheet)), without reproducing it.

Club field hockey: the club teams pages list 28 youth clubs (the clubs found around these schools, plus any other club a player here is tied to) and, for each, the players on these varsity rosters that a public page ties to it: the club’s own site, a SportsRecruits, NCSA, Hudl or FieldLevel profile, a MaxPreps career page, the NFHCA’s high school watchlists, MAX Field Hockey’s club and school pages, or local news such as the Gilroy Dispatch and Stick Together. It was researched by hand, each tie checked twice when it was added, and is not part of the twice-daily update. Only players already on these rosters are named, social media is never used, and recall is partial.

College commitments: the college commitments page lists the players on these varsity rosters that a public page says have committed to play a sport in college, field hockey or any other (37 found), from players’ recruiting profiles, commitment lists, club and school sites, and local news. It was researched by hand with the club pages’ matching rule, each commitment checked twice when it was added, and is not part of the twice-daily update. A social-media post counts only from an official college, school or club account, so a commitment announced only on a player’s own account is not listed, and recall is partial.

Standings, points & tiebreaks

Each league’s standings are computed from individual game results by that league’s own rules where it publishes them (otherwise by this site’s stated rules below), then compared field by field against MaxPreps’ own published table wherever MaxPreps publishes one (see the cross-check log). A team with no reported results is never shown as a fabricated 0-0-0 record. SCVAL, BVAL, PCAL, MCAL and EAL award 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie; SCVAL, BVAL, PCAL and MCAL order their tables by points, and EAL uses them only to decide its title and publishes no standings, so this site orders that table by the same points; the Sunset, City, North and Metro publish no points rule, so this site applies the same 3-1-0; they differ in which games count and how ties are broken.

SCVAL — Santa Clara Valley Athletic League

League membership is a list we maintain from the official SCVAL alignment, not whatever happens to appear in the MaxPreps feed that day. De Anza has 7 teams this season: the official grid still lists Wilcox, but Wilcox is not fielding a team, so it is not shown anywhere on the site and its grid fixtures are not counted. The rules are quoted below, verbatim, from the SCVAL Field Hockey By-Laws 2026-27.

Points & standings order

“A team shall be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. The division placement/standings will be the order of team points. The team with the greatest number of points will be declared the champion and higher in the standings. If there is a tie at the top both teams shall be declared division champions.” — Article VI, Section 2

We implement that literally: points = 3 × wins + 1 × ties from league games only (Article VI, Section 1 — a double round robin, division games only counting to the division record), and the PTS column on every standings table is the actual ordering key, not a secondary stat.

If teams are tied on points

The by-laws set out one tiebreak chain, applied by “working to bring one team out” of the tied group and then restarting the whole chain for whoever is left:

  1. Better head-to-head record among the tied teams (Article VI §3 (better head-to-head record among the tied teams)).
  2. Greater number of wins in division play (Article VI §4 (greater number of wins in division play)).
  3. Least goals given up between the head-to-head tied teams (Article VI §5 (least goals given up between the tied teams)).
  4. Goal differential between the head-to-head tied teams (Article VI §6 (goal differential between the tied teams)).
  5. A coin flip. This site cannot know how a coin flip fell, so teams that reach this step show as tied at the same place (a shared “T6” instead of a 6th and a 7th), with a footnote citing this rule. (Article VI §7 (coin flip — we cannot compute it, so the teams stay tied))

Our display order is not a league ruling — if SCVAL settles a coin flip we have no way to know, the official standings remain the source of truth.

Overtime

“Varsity: four 15-minute quarters. After a regulation tie (league AND non-league varsity games): ONE 7-minute sudden-victory period, 7-a-side. If still tied after that one period, the game ends in a tie (no shootout in league play).” — Article IV

An overtime win counts as a full win, shown with an OT tag. Because league play never has a shootout, you will not see a shootout result in SCVAL league play; if one is ever reported, it is shown with an SO tag.

CCS qualification

“16-team CCS tournament: SCVAL 7, BVAL 4, PCAL 2, at-large 3.” — Article VII, Section 1
“The first three teams in each division are awarded automatic qualifiers (AQ) to CCS playoffs (ties broken by Article VI, Sections 2-7). Fourth place teams play a play-in game; the winner receives the SCVAL 7th AQ. The losing 4th-place team and both 5th-place teams are submitted to CCS for at-large consideration. #1 v #1, #2 v #2, #3 v #3 crossover games are played after the season to help CCS ordering (home site by coin flip). Per the official schedule PDFs these crossover/play-in games are Friday, October 30, 2026.” — Article VII, Section 2

Article VII §2 (first three in each division are automatic qualifiers; fourth place plays in for the SCVAL 7th AQ; the play-in loser and both fifth-place teams go to CCS for at-large consideration). Live, team-by-team status is on the CCS playoffs page.

  • BVAL Field Hockey By-Laws (rev. 8/13/24) §6a (“If there is a tie, both teams shall be declared Division Champions”).

A game counts when it is on BVAL’s official schedule and both teams belong to the same division; tournament and postseason games never count.

If teams are tied on points

  1. BVAL Field Hockey By-Laws (rev. 8/13/24) §6b (head-to-head; with three or more tied, a 3-1-0 mini-league among them).

When three or more teams are level, the chain places one team at a time — the first step that separates anyone decides the best of the group — and then restarts from the top for the rest.

A step this site cannot compute (a coin flip, a draw, a play-in) leaves the teams level at the same place, with a footnote citing the rule. Our display order is not a league ruling.

  • PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §22.3 (two teams level at the top are co-champions; three are tri-champions).

A game counts when it is on PCAL’s official schedule and both teams belong to the same league; tournament and postseason games never count.

If teams are tied on points

A tie whose group starts at 1st:

  1. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3 (head-to-head in league contests; three level: three-way, then two-way).
  2. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3.1(b) / §23.3.3(c) (record against each lower-placed team, in standings order).
  3. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3 (the CCS-points step applies only to sports seeded by CCS points; then a coin flip or blind draw — we cannot compute either, so the teams stay tied).

A tie whose group starts at 2nd:

  1. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3 (head-to-head in league contests; three level: three-way, then two-way).
  2. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3.3 (record against each higher-placed team, from the champion down).
  3. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3.1(b) / §23.3.3(c) (record against each lower-placed team, in standings order).
  4. PCAL By-laws (rev. May 2025) §23.3 (the CCS-points step applies only to sports seeded by CCS points; then a coin flip or blind draw — we cannot compute either, so the teams stay tied).

Any other tie: PCAL’s by-laws break ties only for the two CCS places; this tie is left as it is.

When three or more teams are level, each step is applied to the whole group at once; teams it separates are placed, and the chain restarts from the top for any teams still level.

A step this site cannot compute (a coin flip, a draw, a play-in) leaves the teams level at the same place, with a footnote citing the rule. Our display order is not a league ruling.

  • CIF Northern Section Field Hockey Guidelines 2026-28 §VII.C (“In the case of a tie, duplicate awards will be given”).

A game counts when MaxPreps marks it a league game and both teams belong to the same league; MaxPreps’ tournament and postseason games never count. Games between two EAL teams on or after Fri Oct 30 are Super Regional games.

If teams are tied on points

  1. The Northern Section’s Field Hockey Guidelines break no tie in the league table: a tie for first means co-champions (§VII.C), and the Super Regional seeding criteria (§III.E.1) are the coaches’ to apply, so this tie is left as it is.

A step this site cannot compute (a coin flip, a draw, a play-in) leaves the teams level at the same place, with a footnote citing the rule. Our display order is not a league ruling.

  • no league document orders the table; this site orders it by its own 3-1-0 points.
  • no league schedule is published and there is no round robin: a Sunset game is any game between two of the eight on MaxPreps’ schedules outside a tournament, and the pairs meet once or twice.
  • No league or Southern Section rule on overtime is published (Blue Book Article 200 adopts NFHS rules). A Sunset game has ended level (Fountain Valley 1-1 Marina, Sep 11) and one has been decided in overtime (Great Oak 2-1 Temecula Valley, Oct 2), so this site records each game as it is reported.
  • no published rule names a champion; teams level on points at the top are shown level.

A game counts when both teams are members of the same league (MaxPreps’ 2024-25 and 2025-26 Sunset tables), whether or not MaxPreps marks it a league game; MaxPreps’ tournament and postseason games never count.

If teams are tied on points

  1. No Sunset document exists that we could find, so no rule breaks this tie and it is left as it is.

A step this site cannot compute (a coin flip, a draw, a play-in) leaves the teams level at the same place, with a footnote citing the rule. Our display order is not a league ruling.

Postseason

The Sunset’s postseason is the Tournament of Champions, Oct 22–29, which it shares with the LA independents. The Los Angeles Field Hockey Association runs it, since the CIF Southern Section holds no field hockey championship (Blue Book Bylaws 2011.1 and 3500.2) and CIF no regional or state one; a Sunset team not in it ends its season with its last game, Oct 31 at the latest.

    MaxPreps orders the EAL table by winning percentage; the EAL decides its title on points (Northern Section Field Hockey Guidelines §VII.C.2) and publishes no standings, so MaxPreps’ places can differ from ours. MaxPreps also lists Red Bluff, which is not fielding a varsity team in 2026.

    No official schedule document. The EAL publishes no schedule or standings document of its own. Its league games are the games MaxPreps marks as league games; on Oct 4 all 30 of them matched, by date and home side, the 2026 league grid posted on the EAL/SRL umpires’ site (fieldhockeyumpires.org).

  • MaxPreps table (opens in a new tab) read in this update (3 member rows).

    MaxPreps’ Sunset table lists three of the eight teams, with Bonita and Chaminade, counts only the games its scorekeepers flagged as league games, and orders them by winning percentage. This site counts every game between two of the eight, orders all eight by 3-1-0 points, and lists Bonita and Chaminade with the LA independents, so Great Oak’s Aug 27 win over Bonita, which MaxPreps counts, is not counted here. si.com uses its own league labels, so its Sunset records differ from both.

    No official schedule document. No Sunset document exists that we could find: no league site, bylaws, schedule or standings. The eight teams here are eight of the ten in MaxPreps’ Sunset table in 2024-25 and 2025-26; the other two, Bonita and Chaminade, are listed with the LA independents (that group’s note says why). For 2026-27, MaxPreps’ table lists three of the eight, with Bonita and Chaminade, and assigns the five Orange County schools to no league; si.com’s table (also shown on the Southern Section’s scores site) lists six of the eight, with Bonita, Chaminade, and Westlake and Los Alamitos with no games, and puts Chaparral and Temecula Valley in a separate table. This site counts every game between two of the eight outside a tournament as a Sunset game, whether or not MaxPreps marks it as one: MaxPreps’ flag follows whoever entered the game (it marks one of Great Oak’s two games with Temecula Valley and none of the Orange County schools’ games against each other except Edison’s), so no two sources agree on a record. Teams play different numbers of games.

  • MaxPreps publishes no table for this division; the cross-check is skipped.

    No official schedule document. No league gathers these five schools. Glendora, Harvard-Westlake and Thousand Oaks are the only field hockey teams in their all-sports leagues on MaxPreps (the Palomares League, League B and the Marmonte League). MaxPreps and si.com list Bonita and Chaminade in the Sunset, but MaxPreps marks none of their games against the five Orange County Sunset teams as a league game, and each plays every other independent home and away, so this site lists them here. The table counts every game between two of the five, whether or not MaxPreps marks it as a league game (it marks only Bonita’s two games with Chaminade), and orders them by this site’s 3-1-0 points.

How a score is shown

One rule governs every score on this site: a game that has not been decided never shows as 0–0. A real final score of 0 prints as 0; a game with nothing reported yet shows a dash in lighter gray, and screen readers say “not reported”. The two are never confused.

  • A completed game shows FINAL and the score; an overtime win adds an OT tag.
  • A level EAL league game that MaxPreps marks as won was decided on 1 v 1s: it shows the level score with an SO tag and counts as the winner’s win. The 1 v 1 tally is not shown.
  • A level game between two San Diego Section teams that MaxPreps marks as won is counted as the flagged team’s win (under the Section’s procedures a level game outside a tournament is settled in overtime or by a shootout; si.com and the Section’s power rankings record some such games with the shootout goal added): it shows MaxPreps’ score with no decider tag.
  • A forfeit counts in win-loss-tie but not in goals for/against/differential — marked with a dagger everywhere a total would otherwise be misleading.
  • A game with no score posted yet shows SCORE NOT REPORTED with an empty outline chip, never a blank or a zero.
  • A postponed game shows POSTPONED with the new date when one is known, or “TBD” when it is not.
  • A non-league game carries a small NL tag everywhere; it counts in a team’s overall record and nowhere in the league standings.
  • A score published from si.com carries a marker and a “score via si.com” line on its game page.

Cross-check log

MaxPreps’ own standings feed already carries its computed record, points, goals and placement for every team, so checking our work is a direct comparison, not a reimplementation: for every team we compare our computed W-L-T, goals and place against MaxPreps’ published numbers, field by field. Every disagreement is published here and flagged with ⚑ on the standings row — we always show our own computation and say so, rather than silently picking a side. Where a league’s MaxPreps table differs for a known reason, those rows are listed separately under the reason.

EAL vs. MaxPreps’ table

No other disagreements with MaxPreps’ EAL table in the most recent run.

Sunset vs. MaxPreps’ table

No other disagreements with MaxPreps’ Sunset table in the most recent run.

Known difference

MaxPreps’ Sunset table lists three of the eight teams, with Bonita and Chaminade, counts only the games its scorekeepers flagged as league games, and orders them by winning percentage. This site counts every game between two of the eight, orders all eight by 3-1-0 points, and lists Bonita and Chaminade with the LA independents, so Great Oak’s Aug 27 win over Bonita, which MaxPreps counts, is not counted here. si.com uses its own league labels, so its Sunset records differ from both.

vs. si.com scores

MaxPreps is our primary source. When MaxPreps has no result for an official league game, or its row is clearly wrong, we publish High School on SI’s score and mark it (see Scores taken from si.com). As of the Wed Nov 11, 1:03 PM PT run, 162 MaxPreps games matched a si.com row by date and teams. 135 of them had a score on both sides: 129 agreed on both numbers exactly, 6 disagreed. Where neither of the clearly-wrong checks applies we publish MaxPreps’ score, and every disagreement is listed below. The other 20 have no score on si.com yet.

vs. cifsshome.org scores

cifsshome.org is the CIF Southern Section’s schedule-and-score site, and it carries the other Sections’ games too. Schools enter their own schedules and scores there, so many games are missing or unscored, and a missing game says nothing about MaxPreps. We read every Section our teams play in, season to date, and compare its scores with MaxPreps’; it never changes a score, record or standing here. As of the Wed Nov 11, 1:03 PM PT run, 775 games had a score on both sides: 770 agreed on both numbers exactly, 5 disagreed. We publish MaxPreps’ score, and every disagreement is listed below.

Scores taken from si.com

4 scores

MaxPreps is our primary source. We publish a score from High School on SI (si.com) only when one of these holds, and only when si.com has the game as final with both teams matched by si.com’s own team ids (never by name), on the official date or a day either side of it:

  • MaxPreps has no contest at all for a game on the league’s official schedule;
  • MaxPreps lists the game, its date has passed, and it has no score;
  • MaxPreps’ row is clearly wrong in a way we can check mechanically: its own win/loss flags contradict its score, the official schedule shows the game was not played on MaxPreps’ date, or it shows a scoreless tie that si.com reports as decided in a league that plays no overtime.

A level si.com score between two EAL teams is never used: a varsity game there is decided on 1 v 1s, and si.com does not say who won them. A level si.com score between two San Diego Section teams is never used: a varsity game there outside a tournament is decided on a shootout, and si.com does not say who won it. Any other disagreement keeps MaxPreps’ score and is listed in the cross-check log. A score taken from si.com counts in the standings like any other final score. si.com never decides league membership, league records or the standings order.

JV games

561 games

Each team page and each day’s scores also list the school’s junior varsity games, in a section of their own. They come from MaxPreps’ JV schedules (the same feed as varsity, for the JV season), read with the rest of the update: today 546 games for 96 of the 102 schools, 362 with a score. A school with no JV games on MaxPreps may not field a JV team, or may not have entered its schedule.

JV games are kept apart from varsity: no varsity standings table, record, leader board, rating or postseason picture on this site reads them. They have tables of their own, on the JV page, which also lists each league’s latest JV results, its next JV games and every school’s JV team, and links each league’s whole JV season by date. MaxPreps’ JV league flags are unreliable and no league publishes a JV schedule or JV standings during the season, but every league plays its JV games alongside its varsity fixtures, so a JV game counts for a JV table when its varsity counterpart (the same two schools within three days) counts for that division’s varsity table, or when it matches a fixture on the league’s official schedule that no varsity contest matched. A JV game between two schools of one division with no varsity counterpart is not counted and is named under its table (today 20 games).

A JV table is ordered on points (3 a win, 1 a tie, as SCVAL orders its own JV tables); no league publishes a JV tiebreak, so teams level on points share a place. Coaches enter far fewer JV scores than varsity ones, so a table ranks its teams only once 60% of its division’s JV league games played so far have a score; today that is De Anza JV, El Camino JV, PCAL JV, MCAL JV, EAL JV, Sunset JV, City Western JV, Avocado JV, Metro South Bay JV and LA JV. The others say how many of their games have a score, and list their teams unranked until a game is played.

MaxPreps comes first, as for varsity. Each school’s JV page on High School on SI (si.com) supplements it, matched only by si.com’s own JV team ids and only for a game between two of these schools on the same date or a day either side: si.com’s final score fills a score MaxPreps has not reported (marked †; today 17 games) and adds a game MaxPreps does not list at all, when MaxPreps has no JV game between the two schools within two weeks of it (also †; today 30 games). When the two disagree on a score, MaxPreps’ is shown and si.com’s is noted under the game (today 13 games). A game si.com lists twice with two different scores is not used.

Two schools publish their JV results on their own athletics sites, Saint Francis (opens in a new tab) and St. Ignatius (opens in a new tab), read by hand once JV league play ended. They are used on the same terms as si.com, after it: today they fill 12 scores, add 3 games and disagree with MaxPreps on 1 score (also †, and noted under the game). Some MaxPreps JV rows are not taken as they stand: 18 rows are left out, most of them a second copy of a game entered against the wrong school of the same name (the boys’ Stuart Hall for Convent & Stuart Hall, another Stevenson or St. Francis) or a game si.com shows was cancelled, and 1 game is moved to the day a school’s schedule says it was played.

PCAL pairs two schools in one schedule slot: Santa Catalina fields varsity only and York fields JV only, so the JV game of every Santa Catalina fixture is York’s. York stands in the PCAL JV table in Santa Catalina’s place, a JV game MaxPreps files under Santa Catalina is shown as York’s, and a York game counts when Santa Catalina’s varsity game of the day does. York has no page of its own here: its JV games and its JV table line are in Santa Catalina’s JV section, each result from York’s side, and its row in the PCAL JV table links there. York is matched on si.com by its own JV team id.

A team page also lists the school’s JV roster, after its varsity roster, where we found one: today 48 schools. The lists come from MaxPreps’ JV roster pages and from the schools’ own athletics sites, which were read by hand; where both have a list, the page shows the one with more JV players and names the other (25 of the lists shown are a school’s own). A player on the school’s varsity roster is not repeated on its JV list, which says how many it leaves out: several MaxPreps JV pages list the whole program.

How often this updates

Pages do not load live data. Instead, an automatic update re-reads MaxPreps (and, most times, si.com, the league documents and the CCS calendar) and republishes the whole site, roughly twice a day during the season — once in the late evening (about 10 PM) and once in the early morning (about 7 AM), Pacific time — between August and November. A game that finishes at 7 PM Thursday appears that night if its score is entered by about 10 PM, otherwise Friday morning.

Live scores are not collected. A game MaxPreps marks as in progress is shown as scheduled, with no score and no “live” label, because a page published hours earlier cannot know whether the game is still being played.

The data on this page was last updated Wed Nov 11, 1:03 PM PT. If a page anywhere on the site shows a “last updated” stamp more than 36 hours old, that is this site telling you its own update may be failing — not a claim that nothing happened in the leagues since then. Per-league detail is under data health.

Privacy & accessibility

This site stores exactly four things, all only in your browser: a theme choice, a pinned team, the league you chose to see on the home page, and the region you chose (Northern or Southern California). None of it is ever sent anywhere — there are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking cookies and no requests to other sites from any page. School colors come from MaxPreps’ data, never an image copied from another site, and the fonts ship with the site.

Accessibility is a floor, not an aspiration: every win/loss/tie is a letter and a written word, never color alone; every score and result has a full sentence for screen readers; the site’s own text and background colors meet the WCAG AA contrast standard, and a change to them that would fall below it is caught before it is published. Team badges are the exception: they use school colors from MaxPreps, with the letters in whichever of black or white stands out more, and are not part of that check.

Corrections & contact

Spot a wrong score, a missing game, a misspelled name or a record that does not add up? Post it in the Data errors thread on our forum (opens in a new tab). Say which page it is on, what it shows and what it should be, and, if you can, link where you saw the right number. This is an independent hobby project with no staffed inbox, so that thread is the place to send a correction.

Before posting, it is worth comparing against the primary source — every team, standings table and game on this site links back to its MaxPreps page, and the league documents above link straight to each league’s own files, or, for the EAL, to the Northern Section’s Field Hockey Guidelines; for the Sunset, City, North and Metro, which publish no schedule or standings, they link the CIF-SS Blue Book 2026-27, Article 200 (Field Hockey) and the CIF-SDS Green Book 2026-27, Bylaw 2000.1 (Field Hockey). Most scores here come from MaxPreps, so if MaxPreps has it wrong too, the school can correct it there and the next update picks it up. If a number here disagrees with one of those sources, check the cross-check log first: a real disagreement between sources is published, not hidden.

This is an unofficial fan site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League (SCVAL), the Blossom Valley Athletic League (BVAL), the Pacific Coast Athletic League (PCAL), the Marin County Athletic League (MCAL), the Eastern Athletic League (EAL), the Sunset field hockey league (Sunset), the City Conference (City), the North County Conference (North) and the Metro Conference (Metro), the CIF Central Coast Section (CCS), North Coast Section (NCS), Northern Section (NS), Southern Section (SS) and San Diego Section (SDS), MaxPreps or Sports Illustrated. All team names, colors and marks belong to their respective schools. Records here are computed from published game results and, while we cross-check them and publish every disagreement we find, they may differ from an official ruling — each league’s own standings (or, for the EAL, which publishes none, the scores its schools report for seeding under the Northern Section’s Field Hockey Guidelines) are always the source of truth for anything that matters competitively, such as playoff seeding. For the Sunset, City, North and Metro, which publish no standings, this site’s tables are its own count: the Southern Section holds no field hockey playoffs and the San Diego Section places its playoff teams from its own power rankings.
