Discipline Overview

ESL and NPHSL are members of our SWRSA and PHSA, respectively, and therefore members of OSA. It follows that the club employs the Discipline Processes of the OSA.

It is the PLAYER'S responsibility to know the rules of the game and to abide by them. It is the responsibility of ALL attending a Game, or otherwise involved with the game, to know and abide by the applicable "Code of Conduct".

Our Discipline Chair is listed on the Contact Us page. The Discipline Chair strongly advises you to review the definitive guide to Discipline!

Players and coaches must realize that a red card in a game means an AUTOMATIC ban for the following game. If the player plays in the next game, a lengthy ban will follow.

SCOPE - FOR REGISTRANTS
The Discipline Process applies to registrants - players, coaches, referees, club officials - while involved in soccer activities relevant to their role in the respective league.

SCOPE - FOR NON-REGISTRANTS
Breaches of the Code of Conduct by non-registrants (usually spectators at games) will be generally be handled by the Club under their own discipline procedures. The League will determine whether the Club’s actions/responses are adequate.

DISCIPLINE HEARINGS
Discipline Hearings for both Leagues are scheduled as follows:

Fridays, 7:00pm, at the Acton Soccer Club office in the Dufferin Rural Heritage Community Centre (the Indoor Soccer Building in Prospect Park), 30 Park Avenue, Acton.

NOTIFICATION
Notification to attend a Hearing will be by email to the Coach of the team involved, copied to the Club and the Division Convenor.

DISCIPLINE BY REVIEW

Most Discipline is by “Review”, whereby the report(s) of the incident are reviewed, a panel determines guilt or innocence, and mandatory penalties are applied per the OSA process. There are standard penalties: for example, a finding of guilty of receiving two yellow cards in a single game is an automatic one game ban.

Results of Discipline by Review will be notified to the Coach, Club, and Division Convenor by email, and will be posted on this web site.
