NGS City Program

Games are held on Saturdays at the following times and locations:
Grade 3 – 1:00 at Brown/Oak Hill
Grade 4 – 2:20 pm at Brown/Oak Hill
Grade 5/6 – 1:00 and 2:20 pm at Brown/Oak Hill (rotating schedule)

The weekly match schedule is posted in TeamSnap just before the start of the season. Check the schedule each week for any changes.

• Home team listed wears ORANGE jersey and supplies game ball.
• Visiting team listed wears WHITE.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your session time starts so that training can start on time! Late arrivals are hard on everyone, including the child.

Practice Times

Teams will practice once per week and may begin the week leading up to the season opener.  Practice time and location are determined after teams are announced and will depend on field and coach availability. After teams are announced, coaches will reach out to families to discuss practice.

Team Assignments

City players are placed on grade-level teams with the goal of creating equally balanced teams.  NGS is a community program, not a school-based program. Therefore, we purposely create teams with girls from multiple neighboring schools and honor only one mutual friend request per player. Teams are generally mixed up from year-to-year and sometimes season-to-season so that players have the opportunity to:

• Develop good sportsmanship skills, winning some games and losing some games
• Develop social skills, playing with friends and making new friends
• Develop soccer skills, learning from multiple coaches

Families are notified about their fall team placements by email in late August and their spring team placements in late March. Please help your daughter have a positive soccer experience by supporting her assigned team.
