The following rules apply to all FCA teams at practices or games.
These guidelines supercede posted rules at any parks or fields (i.e. pets are prohibited regardless of whether the park or field allows them).

- Adult supervision of field activities is mandatory. Players may not take the field without a coach present.
- Only NYSA participants are allowed on the field during our scheduled use time.
- You may not enter the site prior to your scheduled time. You must leave on or before your scheduled ending time. Any pre- or post- game meetings should take place off field and outside gates.
- If you arrive to find the gates locked do not jump or climb the fence.
- Litter should be collected and removed by each scheduled team at conclusion of field use. Pick up the garbage whether it belongs to you or someone else. If maintenance personnel must pick up behind us our use will be suspended.
