We offer grassroots programming as well as competitive playing opportunities at the regional and national levels. Our programming is designed to help you find the right opportunities for the players in your soccer community.
“Clovis Junior Soccer League has been part of the CalNorth family for the past 46 years. The professionalism and support that we have received from the State office and staff is one of the main reasons that we continue our partnership. We continue to look forward to the great things to come.“
Carmen Saucedo
League President, Clovis Junior Soccer League
Soccer Without Borders has been proud to partner with Cal North for the past 12 years. Cal North provides SWB teams with positive, formal competition opportunities through their annual tournaments and ongoing leagues. Throughout that time, Cal North staff have worked to accommodate the unique needs of SWB's teams, which are made up of recently arrived refugee and immigrant students, and collaborated with our staff to make sure our players can be included and have the best possible soccer experience. In particular, SWB teams look forward to the annual Founder's Cup and Association Cup, which are some of the few larger tournaments available to recreational level teams. These tournaments are a highlight for our players and something they look forward to every year.
