      Member organizations affiliate on an annual basis and are approved by the Cal North Board of Directors. 

      Administrative Structure

      Our dedicated staff is at your disposal to assist you in developing your programming and providing the resources needed to support your goals. We help organizations, period! Whether you are a small all volunteer-run club, a high-level league with full-time paid staff, or some hybrid of the two, we provide the right balance of structure and flexibility to meet your needs.

      With player safety as one of our core values, all coaches and administrators are background checked prior to being approved for participation. Additionally coaches are required to be certified in the SafeSport protocol, concussion awareness protocol and cardiac arrest protocol.

      Through a democratic structure, the affiliated leagues of Cal North are able to elect their representatives to the Board of Directors, present proposed rule changes for the membership to vote on at the Annual General Meeting of the association, and communicate directly with Board and staff. The process helps facilitate intra-league, inter-league and association-wide play.

      Cal North offers a centralized registration and data management system through which all player, coach, and administrator information is gathered allowing effective and timely communication between the association and our membership.
