Game Day: Saturday, February 29, 2020

We start our spring 2020 game day schedule with two intra-Academy 5v5 games at Metro North Park on our usual TOPS field.

Game day notes:

  • About game days:  This is our first game day in 3+ months. We ask that parents and their daughters spend 10 minutes together reviewing 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. Reminder:  no jewelry!
  • Cold weather:  We’re due for wind chill in the 30s. Girls will want to dress for the conditions. Link:  tips on cold weather attire.
    • As a player warms up, she may want to remove a layer, so off comes a jacket or pants. And on comes the evil lost & found gremlin. Please make sure your daughter’s warm-up jacket and pants are labeled — use a Sharpie to mark her initials and uniform number on one of the internal tags or labels.
  • Uniforms:  Players should wear their yellow uniforms. We’ll use colored practice vests to distinguish teams.
  • Rosters:  We’ll make specific team assignments after warm-ups.
  • 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 – dribbling moves:

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