- Coaches will handle roster assignments. We may not be able to honor individual roster / game time requests. Link: schedule requests
Bad weather procedures
- Rain itself isn’t a problem, but waterlogged fields, lightning or unsafe driving conditions could affect our schedule. For info about how we deal with bad weather, please check our weather link.
Schedule conflicts
- Please let us know as early as possible about any game day schedule conflicts, including conflicts with travel related to Cobb or Cherokee school systems’ fall break weeks. (E-mail to Ward is the preferred method.) We can work around most conflicts as long as we know about them by the weekend ahead of the game day.
Game formats
- We have a mix of 4v4, 5v5 and 7v7 games during the fall season. We have a mix of intra-Academy games, games against teams from other NTH locations, and games against other Atlanta-area clubs. We’ll play with goalkeepers in 5v5 and 7v7 games. The offside rule will apply in 7v7 games.
DH players
- We will likely have some game days when we’ll need some players to play twice, or what we call “DH” (double-header) duty. Link: double-header play
Limited Sunday play
- Most of our game days are on Saturdays. If rainouts become an issue, we may schedule Sunday make-up games.
Tournaments
- We won’t play a pre-season tournament.
- We will likely play a 1-day in-house tournament (our Fall Finale) on Saturday, November 17th (the Saturday before Thanksgiving).
