NSCIF Background

THE NORTHEN SECTION, CIF

The Northern Section is a non-profit California corporation, located in Chico California. We are one of 10 Sections of the California Interscholastic Federation, the statewide governing body for high school sports. The NSCIF currently has 68 member schools (public and private), geographically located from Live Oak and Winters in the south to Dorris at the Oregon border. The NSCIF coordinates the interscholastic athletic programs of its member schools through a representative governance process. The Section assists member schools in the interpretation of the rules, regulations and procedures promulgated by the NSCIF Board of Managers and the State CIF. Additionally, we are responsible for monitoring and enforcing such rules, determining student eligibility, classification and alignment of member schools into appropriate leagues and conducting post-season championship events.
