National 1 League Applications Now Open
Apply
We are excited to open applications for the National 1 League 2026/27 season
The NorCal National 1 League is the top team-based competition in Northern California. N1 is an integral part of the NorCal Premier competition pathway, and will function as a proving ground for teams and clubs that are seeking to earn promotion to higher levels of competition, as well as have its own postseason pathway to a national championship.
IMPORTANT DETAILS
BEFORE applying, please note:
- Applications will close on June 5th, after which all teams will be informed of their acceptance or denial. Any teams not accepted into N1 must submit a separate application for the NorCal fall league.
- Teams will be evaluated and accepted based on past performance within NorCal competitions. Teams should have competed at a minimum of State Premier in the 2025/26 season to be considered for N1, but there are no guaranteed acceptances.
- N1 is a full-year competition, meaning that all teams must compete in both the fall and spring seasons.
- Be prepared to pay for each team individually by credit or debit card at the time of application.
- If you’re a returning team, use your existing team account to apply for events; don’t create a new one. If you don’t already have access, ask your club administrator for it.
- DO NOT change the ‘Team Age’ on your application. Teams automatically age up on August 1st.
- Teams applying before June 1st will not select a Roster Source; it will be added after player registration opens.
