compete at the highest level in the CT Junior Soccer Association (CJSA).

Skill level, effort and attitude in practice will directly affect the level of playing time in games Every player should wear a white t-shirt, black shorts, black socks, New Canaan FC pinney, wear shin guards, bring water and a ball (ball sizes: ball size #5 for 2004-2002 & ball size: #4 for 2005-2008)
Ø Games – One game per week Ø Objective is to play players in the positions that will give the team the
highest probability of winning Ø Players are not guaranteed equal playing time in either individual games or over the course of the season Ø The amount of time a player will play will be dependent on the coach’s judgment and the game situation 5
New Canaan FC: Player Code Of Conduct I hereby pledge to follow this Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct applies to all
practices, games, tournaments and any other CJSA and New Canaan FC events. I will do my best to: § Display good sportsmanship. I will play fairly and observe the rules of the game. I will respect

my coach, teammates, officials, and spectators. I will win with grace and accept defeat with dignity. Listen and learn from my coach. I will do my best to improve as a soccer player and give my best at all practices and games. Remember to work with my teammates and understand that together we form a team where everyone is equal. I will place the emotional and physical well being of other players ahead of my personal desire to win. Attend every practice and game that I can, and be responsible for notifying my coach or manager if I cant attend a practice or game. Be prepared for practice and games by having my uniform, cleats, shin guards, ball, and water bottle. Accept the Referees decisions without argument. Referees are there to maintain discipline and fair play
New Canaan FC: Parent Code Of Conduct I understand that as the parent(s)/guardian of a child who participates in the
New Canaan FC , both I and my player are bound by the New Canaan FC Code of Conduct and accordingly: I will teach my child to play by the rules. I will place the emotional and physical well being
of all players and spectators ahead of any personal desire to win. I will help my child work toward skill improvement and sportsmanship. I will not criticize or permit or encourage my child to criticize any persons including players, managers, coaches, referees or spectators at any practices, games, tournaments, or New Canaan FC events. I agree that I will not coach from the sideline or the stands. I will set a good example by only speaking positively about my child’s team and teammates. I understand that only New Canaan FC appointed team coach (es) may coach at games or practices, and that the team manager may administer to the needs of the team and to help the coach keep the team in order. I will stay on the side of the field opposite the team for the entire game. 7
