We have a set of 7v7 away games in downtown Atlanta against the Inter Atlanta under-8 girls.
Game day notes:
- Away games: Our games are away games at the Arizona Avenue fields in downtown Atlanta.
- No jewelry! We will likely have a real referee. “No jewelry” is one of soccer’s rules. (It’s a rule, not a suggestion.) Link: jewelry rule
- Hot weather / hydration: We’re likely to have hot weather, so it’s time for a reminder about hydration. Tip: good hydration starts before Saturday morning!
Uniform colors: Our supplier is at various stages of uniform delivery. A poll tells us that the most common items already delivered are gray practice shirts, navy blue shorts and navy blue socks. Girls should wear that combination. If they don’t have their gray practice shirt, a light gray shirt is a good substitute, with white a 2nd choice. If they don’t yet have their navy blue shorts or socks, black shorts or socks are good substitutes.

Supportive parent tips:
- Be your daughter’s biggest fan.
- Be the other girls’ 2nd biggest fan (even girls on the opposing team).
- Please allow the girls to make their own decisions.
Our opponents are strangers to us. We ask you to stay supportive. If an opponent’s parent gets out of hand, just try to ignore their behavior and stay positive. (It’s youth sports; parents occasionally forget that their daughters — not themselves — are competing.)
