Games cancelled (Saturday, March 4 @ 7 AM): Metro North Park grass fields have been closed due to unplayable conditions, so our games have been canceled.
Field change alert (Friday, March 3 @ 3 PM): Our March 4 game day schedule has changed. Instead of playing at Noonday Park, our games have been relocated to Metro North Park on field #4A. Field #4A is the 7v7 field down the walkway near the cell phone tower. Uniforms, arrival time and warm-up time stay as originally posted.
We’re due for more rain Friday. There’s a chance that Metro North fields could be closed and games canceled. You should assume all games will be played as scheduled unless we post otherwise on our Junior Academy Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/nasajracadg. Check Twitter Saturday after 7:00 AM for an update.
We play our first official spring 2023 games on Saturday, March 4. We have a set of 7v7 games at Noonday Park Metro North Park fields) against teams from the Inter Atlanta club.
Game day notes:
Field location — it can be tricky! Our games are at Noonday Park field #9A. Noonday Park is next door to Quest Park, but stretches all the way back to Shallowford Road. Our games will be on Noonday Park field #9A, which is on the back half of the park, far from the Quest entrance. Field #9A is best reached via the park’s back entrance off Shallowford Road. Click the park link above for more details.- About game days: It’s been 3+ months since our last game day. That’s a long time for kids this age. We ask that parents and their daughters spend 10 minutes together reviewing what happens on game days, along with understanding player and parent responsibilities and guidelines.
