posted 04/09/2013 As the competitive season gets underway, we would like to remind you about appropriate game and sideline behavior and representing Rochester Futbol Club in a positive way. Please review the attached codes of conduct that all players and parents were asked to sign at the beginning of the season. It is expected that these codes will be followed at all times.
Many leagues and tournaments apply sanctions for both player and spectator misconduct. The following are the fines issued by the Thruway league for misconduct:
Send Off (Player) $35.00
Charged to any team that has a player shown a red card. This fine is per person and per occurrence.
Coach, Assistant, Manager or Spectator Ejection $50.00
Charged to any team that has an affiliated coach, assistant, manager or spectator asked to leave a game site. This fine is per person and per occurrence.
Physical Assault $250.00
Charged to any team that has an affiliated coach, assistant, manager, player or spectator charged with assault. USSF mandates minimum suspensions to be enforced nationally for assault. These can be up to 5 years or longer! Please take all appropriate actions to prevent this from happening.
It is Rochester Futbol Club’s policy that any of these fines administered to a player, coach or parent, must be paid by the fined individual to Rochester Futbol Club.
For any player receiving a red card, NYSW will withhold the player’s pass and will require them to serve a one game suspension. In addition, Rochester Futbol Club has the right to apply additional sanctions if deemed necessary. A player receiving a red card, will not be able to participate in any Thruway or non-Thruway league competition until the fine is paid to Rochester Futbol Club.
For any coach receiving a red card, NYSW will withhold the coach’s pass and will require them to serve a one game suspension. In addition, Rochester Futbol Club has the right to apply additional sanctions if deemed necessary. A coach receiving a red card, will not be able to participate in any Thruway or non-Thruway league competition until the fine is paid to Rochester Futbol Club.
For any spectator receiving an ejection and fine, Rochester Futbol Club will hold the related player’s pass and that player will not be allowed to participate in any Thruway or non-Thruway league competition until the fine is paid to Rochester Futbol Club. Rochester Futbol Club also has the right to provide additional sanctions on the spectator.
Our goal is to create a positive and fun environment for all of our soccer players. Please let the coaches coach, the officials officiate and the players play, in a non-aggressive environment.
Have a great season and enjoy the competitions!
Sincerely,
Rochester Futbol Club
