CSSC DISCIPLINARY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

 

Introduction

 

Discipline is rendered by the Clarkson Sheridan Soccer Club in accordance with the Ontario Soccer Association Published Rules on Discipline and Appeals. There are additional club rules which are supplementary to the OSA Published Rules. In case of conflict the discrepancy will be resolved according to the OSA Published Rules.

 

Spectators and Parents are subject to discipline in the same way as players save that a right of appeal from a decision of the Discipline Hearing Panel is only to the Club Executive.

 

The exercise of discipline by the club is carried out by the

                                               

1)      President

2)      Club Executive

3)      Discipline Hearing Panel

4)      Discipline Review Panel

 

There are three types of incident that the Club may face and which will attract discipline during a given soccer season:

 

• Game incidents, whereby yellow and red cards are issued to Players and team officials by attending Referees.  These incidents pertain to rules of the game and includes verbal abuse against a Referee.

 

• Game official assaults, whereby a game official has been physically assaulted by a Player, team official or spectator.  Such incidents must be reported to the Club.  The Peel Halton Soccer Association and the Ontario Soccer Association will be advised.  It will be within their jurisdiction to investigate or resolve.

 

• Behavioural incident on the part of game officials, players, team officials, or spectators, which have not been subject  to the issuance of yellow or red cards.  Incidents involving improper behaviour among parents during or after a game, or the inappropriate behaviour of a Coach towards a Player or Players, are two examples falling under this category.  Behavioural incidents include contravention of the Club By-laws, mission statement and fair play philosophy.  Note that improper behaviour may lead to expulsion from the Club. 

 

A Disciplinary Panel reviews all reported incidents and meets on a regular basis during the soccer season.  The Panel comprises the Club President and two other members designated by the Club Executive.  It ensures that mechanisms are in place for the reporting of incidents, that incidents are reported in writing and properly documented, that appropriate penalties/suspensions are effected according to guidelines set out by the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA), and that membership privileges are revoked where serious transgressions by Club members are made.

 

 

The following procedures outline the Club’s disciplinary procedures which apply to House League play and are consistent with the Club’s Constitution and By-Laws 6 and 9.

 

The following terms will be given the prescribed meaning during the discipline process.

 

• “game official” means game Referee who is registered with the OSA, assistant referee(s) or linepersons.
• “game official assault” means deliberate physical contact (i.e. pushing, pulping charging, etc.) or attempted physical contact or threatening; and striking, spitting, kicking, or any form of violent conduct, or attempted violent conduct.

 

• “incident” means an event or exchange that is documented in writing in a game report or letter which outlines inappropriate action, or behaviour that has allegedly occurred on the part of any Player, team official, game official or spectator.

 

• “Player” means  a Player registered with the Clarkson Sheridan Soccer club, playing in a club sanctioned practice or game.

 

• “team official” mean coach, assistant, manager, or trainer that performs a function for a Club soccer team.

 

• “spectator” means any parent, relative or any other individual that is not a game official, Player, or team official that attends CSSC sanctioned soccer practices or games.

11.       Appeals

 

A penalty decision may be appealed to the Club’s Disciplinary Panel, where the Club’s Disciplinary Panel has jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Appeals by parents or spectators are to the Club Executive.  Otherwise, an appeal can proceed to the Peel Halton Soccer Association, according to OSA policies and procedures.

 

For those offences being administered by the Club’s Disciplinary Panel, a suspension may be postponed until after an appeal is heard.

 

The appeal Hearing Panel may:

 

Ø  deny  the appeal and the appeal fee shall be forfeit

Ø  uphold the appeal and refer the matter back to the lower level to be reheard

Ø  uphold the appeal and vary the term of the penalty imposed

 

 

The Appeal Panel may confirm, revoke or vary any penalty in reference to the circumstances of the case.

 

While a Discipline hearing is based on a report submitted, an Appeal hearing is based on a letter of appeal which, to be grounds for a valid appeal, must provide specific rationale for appealing the decision rendered by a Discipline Hearing Panel.  The grounds for appeal may be:

 

Ø  new facts that were not available when the discipline decision was made

Ø  specific procedural errors alleged to have been made in arriving at the decision

Ø  alleged incorrect interpretation of published rules

Ø  alleged excessive fine, fee, bond or suspension

 

Lodging of an appeal does not affect the decision being appealed (i.e. it is still in force).  If any outstanding fine or other penalty related to the decision being appealed is not paid, the appeal hearing will not proceed.  However, if the grounds for appeal are that the penalty is excessive, there is a special procedure which allows the appeal to go ahead on the payment of a sum of money “in trust” to OSA.

 

Under OSA rules, an appeal needs to be submitted by receipted request.

 

An appellant will lose an appeal if they fail to attend a properly scheduled appeal hearing.  A hearing can continue without a respondent but the respondent clearly loses the right to defend the decision being appealed.

 

All decisions shall be forwarded in writing to the parties involved within 30 response days of the conclusion of the hearing.  Decisions must include the Rights of Appeal to the next higher governing body.
