Game day preview: Saturday, October 23, 2021

By | October 16, 2021

We have a full slate of 5 games on Saturday, October 23, 2021. All games are against teams from other NTH branches. (In other words, we don’t have any intra-Academy games on this game day!) All available players will play on Saturday. Link:  team assignments and schedules (posted Sunday, October 17; updated Tuesday, October 19)

Sunday, October 24:  7v7 practice / prep session @ 1:30 PM:

We play the 5v5 format for the majority of our games. But we’ll also have a few 7v7 format games on larger fields.

Our regular weekday practices are well-suited to help the girls prepare for 5v5 play, but they aren’t as conducive to preparing for 7v7 play. So we’ll have three Sunday 7v7 practice / prep sessions during the fall:  September 19, October 10 and October 24. These sessions will start with 7v7 walk-throughs, and build to 7v7 scrimmages against our NTH Marietta U9 sister group. We’ll only roster a portion of our player pool for each of the 7v7 prep sessions.

Update from Sunday, October 17:  Our NTH Marietta U9 older sisters’ schedule has changed. They have league games Sunday, October 24th, so they won’t be available to scrimmage us. So we’ll pivot and make this an intra-Academy event. If your daughter is available to participate in the Sunday, October 24th 7v7 practice / prep session (1:30 PM at Metro North), please notify Ward.
