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.
