1st OFFENCE (Written warning):
Any Spectator judged by SCT’s discipline committee to be guilty of abusive conduct towards anyone in attendance at an SCT event will be reprimanded in writing.
2nd OFFENCE (Discipline by hearing):.
Any Spectator judged by SCT’s discipline committee to be guilty of a second conviction of abusive conduct towards anyone in attendance at an SCT event will be required to attend a hearing with SCT’s discipline committee to address their behavior. A second offence may result in a Spectator being suspended from attending future games and practices for a specified period of time as determined by SCT’s discipline committee
3rd OFFENCE (Discipline by hearing):
Any Spectator, judged by SCT’s discipline committee to be guilty of a third conviction of abusive conduct towards anyone in attendance at an SCT event will be required to attend a hearing with SCT’s discipline committee to address their behavior. In the unfortunate circumstance and as a last resort, for the protection of all participants associated with SCT’s soccer activities, a third conviction may result in all playing members of the immediate family in question being de-registered from SCT for a period of time of SCT’s choosing that may be, at SCT’s discretion, unlimited. In extreme cases and/or depending on the nature of the behavior, as determined by SCT’s discipline committee, a suspension from attending future games or practices and/or the de-registration process may be invoked after a first or second offence. This policy, as per the OSA policy, only covers non-playing Spectators which are associated with a game participant. For incidents not related to the event or involving non-associated spectators SCT cannot enforce the Friendly Fan Policy and/or Discipline Policies, however civil action may be sought by the parties involved. If the source of the abuse is from a Registrant such as a team official, discipline procedures for the individual(s) involved will follow the policies for discipline management for OSA registrants as set out in the OSA Policies (Section 9.0 -Discipline).
