Innovative health partner delivers additional benefits to USYS members.

Attention Goalkeepers & Wanna-Be's!

SACRAMENTO, CA (October 22, 2021) - We are very pleased to announce a formal partnership between Cal North Referee Administration (CNRA) and Cal North Soccer Association for the upcoming 2021-2022 Cups and Tournaments. This partnership will serve the game in Northern California by providing growth in our referee pool, identifying young referees and using the events as training opportunities for new & existing referees and mentors. As a result, Cal North Cups & Tournaments will benefit from improved officiating for major competitions such as Cal North State Cup, Cal North Presidents Cup and Cal North Association Cup.

US Youth Soccer is pleased to announce the next quarterly USYS TOPSoccer Zoom meeting, open to all state and local TOPSoccer leaders and friends. It will be held on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 8 Eastern (5:00 pm Pacific). Topics for the session include the following:

BRADENTON-SARASOTA, FL (July 30, 2021) - This summer several teams were able to represent Cal North in regional and national events. Two of those events being Far West Presidents Cup in Salt Lake City, UT and Far West Regional Championships in Boise, ID. At Far West Regional Championships, six teams moved on from group stage, four reached the semifinals and one reached the final. While no team won regionals, there was already a team that would be making the trip to the 2021 US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, the Santa Clara Sporting '05 Boys Green. 

Winning regionals is one of two ways that US Youth Soccer allocates spots to the National Championship Series. The other way is via National League playoffs, which is how SC Sporting '05 Boys Green locked-in their ticket to nationals after winning the Greensboro event back in March. 

SACRAMENTO, CA (Aug. 9, 2021) - After regional camps in June and July, US Youth Soccer released the list of the players that have made the West Region pools. The players listed below will have the opportunity to be selected to compete at the upcoming US Youth Soccer ODP Interregional events in November. The Boys event will be held from Nov. 16 - 20, while the Girls event will be Nov. 20 - 24. Both events will be taking place in Orlando, Florida. Congratulations to all 78 Cal North players that made the list.
