We’ll play the 5v5 format for the majority of our fall 2021 games. But we’ll also have a few 7v7 format games on larger fields.
Our regular weekday practices are well-suited to help the girls prepare for 5v5 play. But they aren’t as conducive to preparing for 7v7 play. So we’ll have three Sunday 7v7 practice / prep sessions during the fall 2021 season: September 19, October 10 and October 24 (1:30 PM at Metro North Park).
These sessions will start with 7v7 walk-throughs, and build to 7v7 scrimmages against our NTH Marietta U9 sister group. We’ll only roster a portion of our player pool for each of the 7v7 prep sessions.
Update from Sunday, October 17: Our NTH Marietta U9 older sisters’ schedule has changed. They have league games Sunday, October 24th, so they won’t be available to scrimmage us. So we’ll pivot and make this an intra-Academy event. This opens up a bunch of roster spots. If your daughter is available to participate in the Sunday, October 24th 7v7 practice / prep session (1:30 PM at Metro North), please notify Ward.
