Rosters:
We divide our player pool into several teams each game day. (Coaches create the rosters.)- Every available girl will play each game day. We usually play multiple games each game day, with each girl playing one game. For example, if we have games at 9:00, 10:15 and 11:30, some girls will play at 9:00, others at 10:15, and others at 11:30. Link: game day procedures and guidelines
- We assign and post team rosters on our Junior Academy web site each Monday night prior to the weekend games. We link the detailed game day page to two of our most commonly viewed web pages:
- The game day preview page in our News section
- The current season’s game day schedule page; the link is attached to the game day date in the schedule table
- Games are usually scheduled 75-90 minutes apart. If our schedule lists game times as “9:00, 10:15, 11:30” you’ll know on Monday night whether your daughter is in the 9:00, 10:15 or 11:30 game. Link: sample game day page
- We’ll combine girls from both Metro North Park and United Quest Park on game days.
- Team rosters often change from week to week. Teams may be created based on playing level and / or age, or balanced / mixed so each NTH team is of the same level. Link: team assignments and levels of play
- Coaches will handle roster assignments. We may not be able to honor individual roster / game time requests. Link: schedule requests
Game formats:
We have a mix of 5v5 and 7v7 games. We’ll play with goalkeepers in the 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 in two games. We call this “DH” (double-header) play. Link: double-header play
Sunday play:
We usually play on Saturdays, but we have two Sunday game days: April 10 and April 24.
Schedule conflicts:
Please let us know as early as possible about any game day schedule conflicts. (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.
Tournaments:
We won’t play any 2-day pre-season tournaments. We currently plan to play in a NTH-sponsored tournament the weekend of May 14-15 and/or May 21-22. (We may have some girls play the first weekend, and others the second weekend.) These will likely be big tournaments, hosting 100+ teams from local and other areas, ages U8 up through U19, with each team playing three or more games.
The tournament(s) will be our final event(s) of the spring season. Depending on the number of U8 entrants, we may roster all of our girls, or only the girls with 2014 birth years. (We’ve found that few Junior Academy or pre-Academy programs at other clubs include 2015 girls.) Link: about tournaments
Birth Certificate / Medical Consent forms:
We still need to collect birth certificates and medical consent forms for some of our players. If you didn’t submit these during the summer or fall, please do so in February. Link: registration paperwork
