14 NCSA MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the New Canaan Soccer Association ( NCSA ) is to provide the youth of New Canaan, from the grades of kindergarten thru 8th grade, with organized soccer programs that are designed to allow all participants to learn and develop in a positive environment. All soccer programs are to be designed to follow a NCSA Board approved curriculum, under the guidance of professional coaches, which will teach age appropriate skill development, foster a joy for the game, create positive team dynamics, and provide a path for advancement as players achieve appropriate levels of skill. The NCSA is committed to developing the highest potential skill level in all players, and to creating teams that will be competitive at the highest level of placement. 14

15 NCSA Travel Program Philosophy The Travel Program goal is to develop players and form teams to compete at the highest level in the CT Junior Soccer Association. The program will require a significant commitment from players for practices and games all of which will be mandatory Any team the NCSA enters into the Travel league will go into every game with the express purpose to win the game Coaches hired by the NCSA will be advised of this philosophy and be expected to adhere to it 15

16 NCSA Travel Program Philosophy Practice - 4 hours of practice time per week Skill level, effort and attitude in practice will directly affect the level of playing time in games Games One game per week Objective is to play players in the positions that will give the team the highest probability of winning Every player will play in every game Players are not guaranteed equal playing time in either individual games or over the course of the season The amount of time a player will play will be dependent on the coach s judgment and the game situation 16
