Every member of the club, be it Player, Manager Volunteer, Parent/Guardian or Spectator, are subject to all the Clubs Codes of Conducts and Policies and are expected to maintain a high standard of behavior.

 

However codes of conduct can only be effective if there is a disciplinary process to support them. It is essential that the club is seen to be fair and consistent in dealing with misconduct.

 

The Club Secretary will appoint a Disciplinary Committee to deal with serious breaches of codes of conduct as and when they arise.  The Disciplinary Committee will have a number of options available to then depending on the serious of the actual case it is considering.

 

Possible sanctions include...

•*Verbal warning

•*Written warning

•*Final Warning

•*Exclusion from specified number of matches

•*Exclusion from specified number of training sessions

•*Removal from team for remainder of current season

•*Refusal to register with team for future season

 

Whenever appropriate the committee will seek to show restraint and impose lighter sanctions initially with the option of adding additional sanctions or increasing the duration of a penalty.

 

The Disciplinary Committee shall consist of, the Discipline Secretary and two other members of the Committee/Sub Committee, excluding the Chairman.

 

Any player or parent who is unhappy with the decision of a disciplinary committee has the right to appeal in writing to the club Secretary within 14 days.

 

If an appeal is made the Chairman should head the appeals panel along with the Disciplinary Secretary and a third member of the committee who was not part of the original Disciplinary Committee

 

The decision of the appeal committee will be final

 

Ultimately, of course, our club is required to follow the rules and regulations of the leagues to which we are affiliated as well as to County Association and FA rules.
