Higher standards, better competition, close to home.

We have made some very exciting changes to our regional league, formerly known as the California Regional League. With the help and collaboration of directors of coaches across northern California we are redefining competitive soccer.  We have heard you and understand your challenges and are looking forward to seeing you participate in our newly reimagined competition. 

Your Pathway to Regional and National Competition.

The Cal North Pacific Conference is a qualifier for regional competition and your chance at a national title.

The Cal North Pacific Conference is also known as "CNPC". Teams must apply and be accepted into the competition. Competition will begin in March with a Cal North hosted weekend competition. Games will be centrally hosted (facility TBD). The final format of the event will be determined once the number of applications are known and teams are accepted into the event. We anticipate each age group will have a minimum of 4 teams and a maximum of 8.  The teams will play all their matches over a weekend to determine an age group winner. The winner will advance on to the USYS Regionals.  Also keep in mind, per USYS rules all teams must participate in the Cal North State Cup to be allowed to proceed into the USYS Regional event.

Team applications will remain open until brackets are full. 

In addition to elite competition, the Cal North Pacific Conference, for players U15 and up, is also an opportunity for additional scouting exposure by ODP, US Soccer, MLS and college coaches. Teams that chose to participate in the Cal South College May Showcase event will be automatically accepted (an additional fee is required and paid directly to Cal south)

• Applications: Applications are now being accepted and will remain open until November 30th.  Teams will be notified of their acceptance by December 15th. Schedules will be posted by January 15th. Location TBD. Fee TBD.
• Format: The final format will be determined once the number of applications are know and the teams are individually invited to the event and they accept their invites. A minimum of 4 teams and a maximum of 8 teams per age group gender will be accepted. Teams will play a minimum of 3 games with a possible addition of a 4th game to determine a champion if needed.
• USYS Rules: Per USYS rules, ALL teams participating in CNPC must play in Cal North State Cup and must maintain a minimum of 9 players from their CNPC roster within their State Cup roster. In addition, ALL teams must play in a sanctioned US Club or USYS league with a minimum of 3 other teams (i.e. bracket of 4)
• Fees: $750....in additional $400, for teams whose players are NOT registered with Cal North. Per USYS policy they will need to do so in order to be eligible to participate and move forward into USYS regional events including the Cal North State Cup.
