If any of these rules and guidelines are broken, a coach will speak with you and ask you to leave the practice or the game. You will then have to wait for your head coach to come over and speak with you. If you are sent home, you are expected to show up prior to the next organized team event (practice or game) and speak with your head coach, player rep and positional coach.

• If it is a matter that requires a  more drastic or well thought out solution you will be asked to meet with a disciplinary committee.

• If a player feels like he has been mistreated by a teammate or a coach, please address this with a member of the coaching staff. This will be addressed by the Head Coach.
