We start regular game days on Saturday, September 9th (the first Saturday after Labor Day). We continue with weekly game days until we wrap up our fall season the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Game days have a mix of intra-Academy games, games against teams from other NTH locations, and games against teams from other Atlanta-area clubs.

Game day rosters:
- Every available girl will play each game day. (Exception: We have a couple of U8 vs. U9 solo Sunday games where we’ll only roster our most experienced players.) We play multiple games each game day, with each girl usually playing one game. Link: game day procedures and guidelines
- We post game day rosters each Monday night before the upcoming weekend games. You can click the link in the schedule’s Date column to see that date’s rosters and schedules. Link: sample game day rosters and schedule page
- We’ll combine girls from both Metro North Park and United Quest Park on game days.
- 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 local school systems’ fall and spring breaks. (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:
- Our main format will be 5v5, but we’ll also have some 7v7 games. We’ll play with goalkeepers in 5v5 and 7v7 games. The offside rule will apply in 7v7 games.
DH (double-header) players:
- We may have 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:
- We typically don’t have any full roster Sunday game days. But we will likely schedule some Sunday partial-roster 7v7 prep sessions.
- If rainouts become an issue, we may schedule Sunday make-up games.
Tournaments:
- We won’t play a pre-season tournament.
- We will play a single-day in-house tournament (our Fall Finale) on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
