The Cal North/Cal South Inter-Regional League is a premier event-based competition for top U12 and U14 boys and girls teams from Northern and Southern California. Launching in Fall 2025, the league is a collaboration between Cal North and Cal South to provide a high-level playing environment within the state.
The league features a selective, invitation-only format with three weekend events, including a final championship in Bakersfield. Teams are chosen by each state association, with four teams per age group and gender. There are no league fees—teams split event costs directly.
