U12-U13 Cal North Presidents Cup

Cal North Presidents Cup offers competition for Cal North registered teams in the U-12 and U-13 age groups and is the state-level qualifier for the US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup series. Modeled after the Cal North State Cup Program and US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, Presidents Cup is the most recent level of competition added to the Cal North Cup Series to ensure competitive cup events are available for all levels of play. The Presidents Cup was created primarily to serve the second-tier Competitive teams. Any Cal North member team that competed in a playing league for Gold level or below and/or was not a State Cup quarter-finalist in the 2013/2014 season can apply to participate in Presidents Cup. Competition begins with a weekend of preliminary round games on March 7-8, 2015 and over the course of a subsequent weekend of single elimination round competition, it culminates with the Cal North Presidents Cup Championships where the state champions are honored with team recognitions and individual awards. Cal North age groups champions and selected wild card teams have the opportunity to advance to Regional Presidents Cup Competition in the age groups where US Youth Soccer and Region IV offer competition. The Cal North Presidents Cup preliminary round games may be scheduled at various venues throughout Northern California. Schedules and venues will be published as soon as finalized. The entry fee is $625. Teams that complete their application and/or payment after the 5 PM January 1, 2015 deadline will be placed in the Reserve Pool. Placement in Reserve Pool does not guarantee acceptance to Presidents Cup.
