MPYSA Zero Tolerance Policy

The Mt. Pleasant Youth Soccer Association (MPYSA) has adopted the following Zero Tolerance Policy for ALL MPYSA age groups and teams.

Coaches, players, parents and all members of the MPYSA are expected to uphold this policy and respect the referee regardless of their age or experience.  Many of the referees in MPYSA are you and just starting their careers as soccer referees. Please be respectful and support these young referees, and report any ZERO Tolerance violations to the V.P. of Coaches and Referees or any MPYSA board member.

Zero Tolerance violations will be taken very seriously by MPYSA and will result in warnings, suspensions, or removal from MPYSA and City Fields.  Additionally, violations may result in escalation to North Texas Soccer Association where additional sanctions may be imposed.

POLICY is a follows:

NO coach or spectator is to address the referee during the game!

COACHES:  

Allowable exceptions during match:

Responding to a referee initiating communication
Making substitutions
Pointing out emergencies or safety issues
At half time or at end of the match:

A coach may ask a referee to explain a rule(s) in a polite and constructive way.  (This is not an invitation to debate or argue!)

A coach may give polite and friendly feedback to a referee.

Every coach and all spectators shall support the referee.  Failure to do so undermines the referee’s authority and has the potential to create a hostile environment for players, the referee, and all the other participants and spectators.  Consequently, MPYSA has adopted the following rules:

NO coach or spectator is to address the referee during the game!
