LUYSA has adopted a policy of “Zero Tolerance” for verbal and/or physical abuse of officials.
A Not so Gentle Caution…Discipline Committees take a very dim view of individuals who feel they have the right to threaten or harass game officials. Please refer to examples below.
What Should I Do If...If a Referee asks you to control your sideline, do so -- immediately! If a team official is asked to leave the playing field, do so immediately. The best practice is to go to a car and keep the windows rolled up!!! "Red-carded" players are also to leave the field immediately, and should be sent to a car or directly home. They are not to take part in the post-game handshake.
Referee BehaviourShould Coaches or Managers have a complaint regarding the conduct of a Referee, the complaint should be directed to the LUYSA Head of Officials, in writing.
Referees and Assistant RefereesAll Referees and Referee’s Assistants must officiate a game dressed in proper uniforms.
Red and Yellow CardsAll red card reports, including league and cup games, must be reported on the BC Soccer Discipline site.
When players, coaches or managers are cautioned or ejected from a game for misconduct, these incidents must be explained in a referee report. Referees must not indicate what penalty they think should be levied. Make a separate report for each player. Please submit these reports to the BC Soccer Discipline site. |
