NEW CANAAN, Conn. (CBS Connecticut) – Three New Canaan Youth Football coaches, including the league president, have resigned after concern from parents and league officials about an end-of-season party last month that ended in the players burning their third-place trophies.
On Nov. 19, coaches Rod Fox, David Jahn, and Jay Pirrone reportedly took many of the players from the NCYF eighth-grade black team to Irwin Park for the trophy-burning exercise, using it as a motivational tool to improve next season. The team had reportedly won five consecutive league championships, New Canaan Patch reports.
