A yellow card will result in the player being removed from the field of play for 10 minutes. Coaches found not adhering to this policy may face disciplinary action.
A red card results in the player being removed from the field of play for the rest of the current game AND the next game. This may be applied to same day games for double headers or the tournament.
Coaches:
If a coach receives a yellow card, they will not be able to coach the remainder of the game. If an assistant coach is available, they may finish coaching the game. If an assistant coach is not available and no other parents with a KidsSafe badge are available, the game will immediately end in a 1-0 loss for the offending team. Coaches who receive multiple yellow cards over the course of a single season may face further punishment including single-game expulsions, multi-game expulsions, or removal from the league.

If an assistant coach is available for the game in which the red card was incurred, they may finish coaching the game. If an assistant coach is not available (and no other parents with a KidsSafe badge) are available, the game will immediately end in a 1-0 loss for the offending team. All red cards will be logged to the head referee and shared with the CSSC board. Depending on the severity of the card further disciplinary action may be taken at the board’s discretion.
