NORTH COAST SECTION EJECTION POLICY

SOCCER 2007-2008

The following is a summary of the rules pertaining to the NCS Ejection Policy in soccer. This summary is provided for athletic directors, coaches and league commissioners. Athletes and coaches may be disqualified from competition for many reasons according to National Federation rules. This summary outlines which rules will apply to the NCS Ejection Policy. Please review these rules with your coaches and student athletes. However, any act by an athlete or coach that is unsportsmanlike or dangerous conduct shall subject the student or coach to ejection and application of the NCS Ejection Policy. It is important to note that a one game or contest ejection is not a substitute for appropriate counseling of the student or the coach, nor for the student=s or coach’s demonstrated contrition and acceptance of responsibility for the action(s) which led to the ejection. The one game or contest suspension is the universal penalty for ejection from a contest but in no way is it a substitute for a school’s and coach’s responsibility to provide appropriate counseling, remedial action, and discipline. Each league shall establish a procedure for reporting ejections (NCS Sports & General Rulings Handbook - bylaw 307H).

Coaches Review Content
League commissioners shall have coaches review the content of the Ejection Policy for the coaches' respective sport at the end of the season meeting and make recommendations for change. The league commissioner will direct such recommendations to the NCS Sports Advisory Committee ("SAC"), which will consider them. The SAC will determine whether to forward recommendations to the Board of Managers for change.
(Board of Managers 10/24/97)

School Administration and Coaches' Responsibility
School administrators and coaches are responsible for determining the cause of ejection for any coach or player and are responsible for enforcement of the Ejection Policy. Confusion over the cause for a coach’s or player's ejection shall not be the basis for allowing a student who has been ejected under an applicable rule to avoid the sanctions required by the Ejection Policy (either prohibition from participation or forfeiture should a student or coach who is in violation of the Ejection Policy participates in a subsequent contest).
(Board of Managers 10/24/97)

Note: Any act by an athlete that is unsportsmanlike or dangerous conduct shall subject the student to ejection from the contest and application of the
NCS Ejection Policy will apply.

Editorial Note To Officials - Neither Handling or Fouling to DGSO is a violation of the NCS Sendoff Policy.  If the foul is egregious, the referee should send the player off for VC or SFP instead,
If the foul is a garden variety of foul, list the Send off for DSGO-Foul and it will not violate the NCS Sendoff Policy.
