Required Behavior for all participants / attendees for any activity:
EXPECTATION: All coaches, parents, players and anyone at our parks and gyms are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful, considerate, and supportive to our program and its participants. This includes coach to coach, parent to parent, player to player, coach to umpire/referee, parent to umpire/referee, player to umpire/referee, etc.
1. If a call made (by an official) needs to be discussed, that must occur by the head coach. Assistant coaches coming onto the field or gym to argue a call with an official will be ejected from the game. If a parent comes onto the field or gym to argue a call or play or to make any type of comment about officiating, they will be banned from our program for 1-year from the date of the incident.
2. Any discussing or arguing calls after the game by any coach, parent, fan, or player to an official (referee, gym worker, park worker) is considered confronting and this will result in an ejection for the next 2 games. As such, anything other than “thanks” or “good game” may result in an ejection. Any threats made to an official during or after the game will result in a 1-year suspension from the date of the incident.
3. If any parent is ejected from any of our games, the head coach of the team is also ejected. The ejected parent will be suspended for the next 2 games (cannot attend), but the head coach will face no further suspension.
4. Any ejected person must leave the park or gym after an ejection within 5 minutes. Failure to do so will result in a 1-year suspension from the date of the incident. Being ejected in a game and returning to the park during the game or after the game while the team is present will result in a 1-year suspension from the date of the incident.
5. Any person involved in fighting will be immediately removed from the park or gym and will be banned from the league and facilities for 3 years from the date of the incident. This removes the players from participation during this period.
6. Use of profanity or any offensive language that is not suitable for children will result in an immediate ejection and removal from the park or gym. Determination if not suitable will be at the official's discretion.
7. Any coach, player, or parent who receives a second ejection in one single season will be banned for 1 calendar year from the date of the incident.
8. Any team who receives two ejections during a single season will face a 1-game suspension. That single game will end in a forfeit for that team. Any team who receives 3 ejections during a single season will be suspended for the remainder of the season, including tournament play if the third ejection occurs during the current season.
9. There is not an appeal process for an ejection. An ejection is final. A coach or player ejected during the game occurs for that game plus the next game.
