Established in 1969 by Donald Greer, Cal North started as a small collection of teams looking for an organized format for their youth soccer competitions. Cal North (then CYSA) was the prototype and predecessor for other state soccer associations as well as for the formation of US Youth Soccer in 1974 also founded by Donald Greer, which is now the largest youth sports organization in the United States. Our vision of “kids first” has been the constant that guides us throughout our evolution and remains our primary motivation for kids in Northern California to play the beautiful game.
