Weather update (Friday, May 10 @ 1 PM): The weather forecast calls for overnight and morning thunderstorms. If your daughter is due to play in the 9:00 or 10:30 games at Rabbit Hill Park (Dacula / GSA), be sure to check their field status before heading out onto the road. Ignore any messages from NTH — the NTH messages apply to games scheduled at NTH fields, not to away games for teams who travel.

Potential logistical hassle: We have no control over the decision-making timetable for away games. A few years back, we had a 9:00 AM away game, about a 45-minute drive from home. Warm-up started at 8:30 AM, so families needed to leave their houses around 7:40 AM. The host club canceled at 7:54 AM after most families were already in transit. Ideal? No! But we can’t control this situation, so we deal with it.
Game day notes:
- Road trip! Girls in the morning games play away in Dacula, which is up I-85 North and GA-316 East on the way to Athens. This is longer than our typical drive.
- Double-header weekend: We have a full slate of games both Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12. Link: Sunday, May 12 game day details
- Hydration: We’re getting into warm weather season. Properly hydrated players are more likely to perform well throughout the game. Link: hydration tips
- 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
