ABOUT US

San Jose Tsunami Hockey Club is a not for profit roller hockey club based in San Jose, CA. We travel to and compete in
tournaments throughout California and occasionally out of state.

Our club philosophy maintains that fair competition is important in youth sports but we do not subscribe to a “win at all costs”
approach. We believe that developing sportsmanship, discipline, character and teamwork are just as important in determining
success.

Our club consists of players, parents and AAU Certified coaches with many years of combined experience in travel and recreational roller hockey and other youth sports in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Central and Southern California.

JOINING THE CLUB

Prior to try-outs we will conduct SJT Prospects Workouts for Mites, Squirts and PeeWees beginning September 4, 2011. Workouts will be Sunday afternoons from 2:00-4:00PM. These workouts provide an opportunity for families to observe and evaluate our training methods and determine if this level of training is appropriate for their players‟ development.

This also provides an opportunity for prospective families to interface with SJT staff and families to assess the social climate of the club. SJT Staff will be available to answer questions. This is an important aspect to a successful hockey season and should be included in every family‟s consideration before joining SJT Hockey Club. Workouts also provide SJT coaches with an assessment of player skills and attitude.

Email SJT.hockeymail@gmail.com for more information or to sign-up for one or more of our work-outs. Workouts are limited to 20 Players per session and cost $5.00.
