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 August. Games will be played as a typical home and away operated league. The final number of games for 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 CNPC will have two divisions, one club based, and the other individual team based, with the winners of each playing each other at the end of the season for a shot at the regionals. USYS will determine which teams are accepted into the club based division. 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. 

Individual teams who apply and are not accepted, will automatically be accepted into our CCSL gold division. Winners of the gold division in their CCSL bracket will earn their way into the CNPC the following year. 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.

• Applications: Applications are being accepted approximately beginning May 1, 2022 and ending July 1, 2022.
• Format: The final format and the number of games will be determined once the number of applications are known 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.
