Game Day: Saturday, March 16, 2019

Weather update (Saturday, March 16 @ 6:45 AM):  Some NTH grass fields are closed, but we’re on the fake stuff, so our games will be played as scheduled.

Game day notes

  • Reminders:  Shirts tucked in, no jewelry!
  • Uniforms:  Players should wear their yellow game day uniforms. We’ll use practice vests to distinguish teams for the intra-Academy games. This allows us to easily move players around if needed to keep competitive balance.
  • Early morning cold?  The forecast calls for chilly temperatures. Link:  cold weather attire
  • Game times:  Time slots are 75 minutes instead of the more common 90 minute length, so girls in the 10:15 game will have a slightly shorter warm-up period than usual.
  • Hydration:  Hydrated players are more likely to perform well throughout the game. Link:  hydration tips
  • Weekly quiz:  We post a quiz each week below the team assignments. Scroll past the roster table for quiz details.
  • Captains:  Girls whose names are in bold print with a (C) indicator are captains. They are responsible for gathering their teammates and helping the coach start pre-game warm-up. Link:  warm-up ideas

Weekly quiz – dribbling moves

Girls can win a treat after our Wednesday or Thursday practice if they can demonstrate at least two dribbling moves to get away from pressure, and also answer this question:  “What are the three parts of a dribbling move?“

Example:  the step-over turn. Click the link for a description and video demos, or check the still photos below.
