Game day notes:
- About game days: Our first game day is a new step in our soccer journey. We ask that parents and their daughters spend 10 minutes together learning about what happens on game days, along with understanding player and parent responsibilities and guidelines. Links: what to expect on game day #1 / general game day procedures and guidelines
- Uniforms: Players should wear their yellow uniforms. We’ll use practice vests to distinguish teams. This allows us to easily move players around if needed to keep competitive balance.
- Uniform not yet delivered? Your daughter should wear practice gear with her gray NTH practice shirt.
- Hydration: It’s likely to be hot Saturday, so it’s time for a reminder about hydration. 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

Weekly quiz – team names:
Girls can win a treat after our Wednesday or Thursday practice if they can answer questions about our team names. Teams are named after players on the US Women’s Nation Team (the team that plays in the World Cup and Olympics).
- Identify the first and last name of the each player, and identify her NWSL team. (The national team is an all-star team drawing from women who play in the NWSL.)
- Bonus question: Two of these four players played in the United Quest Academy program back in the early 2000s (before we became NASA) — which players? Hint: Each team name is linked to more detailed player info.
