Game Day: Saturday, October 31, 2020

Game day location / schedule updates (posted Friday, Oct. 30 @ 4:15 PM):  Tophat Buckhead fields will be closed Saturday due to the after-effects of Thursday’s storms. We have adjusted our schedule after moving games from Buckhead to Metro North Park:

 

  • Girls who were scheduled to play at 11:30 will play at 1:00 (warm-up at 12:30).
  • Girls who were scheduled to play at 12:45 will play at 1:00 (warm-up at 12:30).
  • Girls who were scheduled to play at 2:00 will play at 2:15 (warm-up at 1:45).

Check the game day table below for revised details.

We head to the Tophat Buckhead fields Metro North Park for a Halloween game day. (Complete with ghosts overlooking the fields.)

Game day notes:

  • Uniforms:   Our teams will wear blue.
    • Bring pink practice vests:  All girls should bring their pink practice vests.
  • No jewelry!  This is worth a weekly reminder, because it can prevent spirit-crushing boo-hoo-hoo moments. Link:  jewelry rule
  • 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 coaches start pre-game warm-up. Link:  warm-up ideas

Weekly quiz – receiving a goal kick:

Girls can win a treat after our Wednesday or Thursday practice if they can demonstrate how to properly receive a goal kick (a dead ball restart from our goalkeeper).

Many of our players take their first touch into the space in front of our own goal. This is a needless risk. If positioned properly, a player should be able to receive a goal kick with a soft first touch that pushes the ball forward and provides better attacking options.
