California North Referee Administration functions as the Cal-North State Referee Committee within the US Soccer Referee Program, guiding referee development for matches sanctioned in its region. It establishes policies to recruit, instruct, certify, assign, assess, mentor, and retain referees, seeking to uphold high standards of officiating and fair play. It also handles disciplinary matters as they arise in relation to officiating. The organization is based in Novato, California, and operates within the spectator sports sector. The State Referee Administrator oversees building the infrastructure and network needed by the State Referee Association and carries out the national referee development program at the state level, serving as a liaison among national offices and state associations.
