    include
  • Excessive incidences of offensive and insulting
    (foul and abusive) language
  • Statements that diminish the authority of the
    referee

    threatening the referee
  • Spitting on the ground or in the air near the

Coaches Misconduct
  • When can a coach be found guilty of coaches
    misconduct
  • If assault or abuse is charged but the action was
    not severe enough to warrant a charge of assault
    or abuse. This allows disciplinary action even if
    assault and abuse have not occurred
  • If a coach is ejected from a game and, after the
    ejection, engages in conduct that is misconduct
    under this policy

Note This is the only situation for which a
referee may file a complaint for coaches
misconduct to VYSA.
