ATTENDANCE AT DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Any person, other than a player, who receives a send off (red card) from a game, is required to attend the next Disciplinary Committee meeting to explain their actions. Failure to attend will be cause for the coach of record to be suspended and require a petition for reinstatement for his/her eligibility to participate in this team or any other teams functions. Adults are expected to set a positive, respectful example through their actions at soccer matches. The Discipline Committee seeks to understand the cause of the incident and support actions to prevent reoccurrence.
While players’ attendance is optional, their comments and behavior can have an impact on the penalty decision. It is very important for a coach to bring their player to the Disciplinary Committee to show their respect for the game and to learn from the experience.
DISTRICT III DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE
This Committee meets weekly, on Thursday evenings, to review written reports submitted by game officials for any misconduct at District III league games played the week preceding the meeting. They decide whether or not to uphold the card issued by the game official and they determine corrective penalties.
