SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Jan. 21, 2026) - Due to cost increases since 2021, Cal North will be reviewing a statewide membership fee adjustment for the 2027–2028 season.
To ensure transparency and provide ample time for planning, this review period is being communicated well in advance, allowing all member organizations to prepare across the following seasons:
2025–2026 season
2026–2027 season
As part of this review, we will be evaluating the following areas:
Coach registration
Player registration
League affiliation
Seasonal changes in insurance certification
The intent is to better align membership and insurance structures with the seasonal year rather than the calendar year, creating greater consistency and clarity for our members.
Take Membership Survey 📝
We will be conducting a membership survey to gather feedback on these topics, including but not limited to the areas listed above. Your feedback is important and will play a key role in shaping any future decisions.
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to soccer in Northern California.
PHOENIX, Arizona (Jan. 5, 2026) - After three days of group play at the 2026 US Youth Soccer ODP Far West Championships, four Cal North ODP teams are left standing and will be playing for the regional ODP title.
The 2012 Girls are scheduled to play at 8:00 AM MST against Cal South. The team led by Coach Bryan Holland remains undefeated through three games, beating Arizona, North Texas and Colorado. While they did accumulate three clean sheets in group stage and have yet to allow a goal in the tournament, the game against Arizona was the only time they scored more than one goal. They will be facing Cal South in the final.
The 2011 Girls have outscored their opponents in group play 11-0. Led by Coach James Pierce, they have beaten Arizona, Utah and Washington and will now face a familiar foe - Cal South. They have history with Cal South, as both teams played against each other in the 2024 ODP Championships with the in-state rivals taking the win. This group retained a strong core of players and will look to even out the series against our neighbors from down south.
The only boys team to reach the Final are the 2011 Boys led by experienced Coach German Plaza. Profe Plaza has this group playing a good brand of soccer, beating Colorado and Idaho, while drawing against Cal South. In the final they will face Washington, who also managed two wins against Utah and Hawaii and drew Arizona in group stage.
The fourth and final team are the 2010 Girls led by Coach Garrett Morgan. Coach Morgan has tasted glory with this team at this same event multiple times, winning it all in 2023 and 2024. They are going for their third title in four years as a group since they've been competing at the ODP Championship. Their opponent will be Cal South, who will be a first time opponent in the Final as in 2023 they beat Hawaii and in 2024 it was Utah.
