We encourage families to check out the Kennesaw State Owls women’s soccer team! This is a great opportunity to see higher level soccer up close, which is often a missing piece in the American youth soccer development process.
The price is excellent: free admission (both kids and adults), and free parking!
About the Owls:
The Owls are an NCAA Division 1 team and play in the Atlantic Sun conference. The 2019 Owls squad includes a bunch of local girls who played with NTH Tophat, including Kelsey Hahn, #6 in the photo above.
Fall 2019 Schedule:
The team plays its home games at the fan friendly Fifth Third Bank Stadium, off Chastain Road between I-75 and I-575. Most of the Owls home games are on Friday nights or Sunday early evenings. Link: 2019 schedule
An added bonus: the Owls players are good role models and typically meet with fans after the games to sign autographs and pose for pictures!
Security policies:
The Kennesaw State Athletics Department implemented new security policies detailing prohibited items. Link: security policy details
Spectator turns player:
In this Easter Sunday 2011 photo, Kathryn Schreck was a NASA Academy U12 player sitting at Fifth Third Bank Stadium watching the Atlanta Beat. She became an Owl in 2017 and now plays in the same stadium. Pretty cool! (Who else do you know in this photo?)
