Game Day: Saturday, August 13, 2022

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:  We have many players who are still waiting for uniform pieces. Here are our uniform suggestions for Saturday:
  • Shirt:  gray or white NTH practice shirt or any other light gray or white shirt
  • Shorts:  dark shorts if possible
  • Socks:  any soccer socks, including crazy socks
• Teams:  We’ll split each group into two teams after warm-ups. We’ll use colored practice vests to distinguish teams. This allows us to easily move players around if needed to keep competitive balance.
• Player requirements:  shin guards are required, and must be covered by soccer socks
• Player no-nos:
  • No jewelry (see rules about jewelry)
  • No hard or sharp hair accessories like large plastic clips, metal hair clips or beads
  • No bubble gum or chewing gum
• Hydration:  It’s likely to be hot Saturday, so it’s time for a reminder about hydration. Link:  hydration tips
• 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
