Since the California Soccer Association "North" (CSAN) is affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), CSAN and its member league use only referees who hold current USSF referee certifications.
Due to a very proactive referee recruiting, training and assessment program, North California has the largest number of USSF trained referees of all the state associations in the United States.
