Beginning with the 2026-2027 soccer season, Cal North will be transitioning to a School Year age grouping method for all programs—with the exception of our Olympic Development Program (ODP) and National Platforms (e.g., MLS Next Tier 2).
For National Platforms, including MLS Next Tier 2, Cal North Member Organizations will defer to the National Platform’s governing body to adhere to their required age grouping method.
In continued support of GotSport, we want to remind you of the exciting opportunity to partner with this leading player registration and management platform. Becoming a GotSport partner provides your organization with enhanced tools for streamlining operations, improving communication, and elevating the experience for your players and families.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fees associated with registering players TO CAL NORTH will not be changing. Partnerships with GotSport simply provide your club/league the opportunity to take further advantage of GotSport's registration software to register players TO YOUR CLUB/LEAGUE (thus allowing your club/league to collect club/league registration fees, player information, etc. entirely within the GotSport system).
Kicking off in September 2025, MLS NEXT program expansion will provide more opportunities and pathways for aspiring players.
