Game day notes
- Venue: We play at United Quest Park on field 8E. Field 8 is behind the clubhouse, between the parking lot and Noonday field 1. Field 8 is subdivided into several small-sided fields. We’re not yet sure which one is labeled 8E, so just look for Hailey, Ward or a bunch of girls in navy blue uniforms.
- Uniforms: Players should wear their navy blue uniforms. We’ll use practice vests to distinguish teams. This allows us to easily move players around if needed to keep competitive balance.
- Weather: The early forecast calls for mild morning temperatures (maybe even cool for the 9:00 game’s warm-up), building into the low 80s.
- Label warm-up jacket / pants: Please take a moment to check your daughter’s warm-up jacket and pants to make sure they have an ID. You can easily ID an item by using a Sharpie to note your daughter’s initials and uniform number on an internal tag. Players often take off their jacket or pants and leave them on the ground, or accidentally put them in another player’s bag. If items are labeled, we can easily return misplaced items to the proper owner. If items aren’t labeled, it’s difficult to resolve lost and found issues.
- Hydration: Girls in the 12:00 game will have some heat, so it’s time for our regular reminder about hydration. Proper hydration helps players perform at their peak! Link: hydration tips
- Weekly quiz: We post a quiz each week below the team assignments. Scroll past the roster table for quiz details.
- Warm-up captains: Girls whose names are in bold print with a (C) indicator are warm-up captains. They are responsible for gathering their teammates and helping the coach start pre-game warm-up. Link: warm-up ideas
