Game Day: Saturday, March 19, 2016

Multi-park game day

We have games at three different NASA parks. Please be sure to check team assignments below for your daughter’s field location.

Field change for NASA team Brian:  Our 9:00 game at United Quest Park field 8 has been moved to Noonday Park field 7a. (More efficient for field prep and ref coverage.)

Guest coach

Our old friend Hailey will coach the NASA Dunn and NASA Horan games at JJ Biello Park.

More travel than usual

Today’s schedule is different than in prior weeks and requires us to have several Metro North girls travel to other NASA parks.

Weekly quiz

We post a quiz each week below the team assignments. Scroll past the roster tables for quiz details.
