Inappropriate behavior will be dealt with in the order below. The SSF United reserves the right to proceed directly to expulsion for serious conduct violations.

  1. Verbal warning. This may be given directly to the violator by the team coach or referee on the field or other incident location.
  2. Written warning and probation. The violator or family of the player related to the violator will be asked to attend a hearing with the league and may be issued a written warning. The probation will be noted in SSFUYSL and CYSA records.
  3. Expulsion. Serious violations of conduct may result in direct expulsion of players and team officials.

In the case of violations by parents or adults, the player related to the violator may be expulsed.

Subsequent violations after a written warning or unwillingness to attend a hearing may also result in expulsion. The expulsed player or team official will be barred per CalNorth regulations.

In the case of player expulsion, no refunds will be made on behalf of the player.
