37.0 SOCCER CENTRE SPITTING POLICY

Saskatoon Adult Soccer in conjunction with Saskatoon Youth Soccer and the Saskatoon Soccer Centre inc. will be enforcing their No Spitting Policy at both the Saskatoon Sports Centre and the Saskatoon Henk Ruys Soccer Centre. Anyone seen spitting on the indoor fields or bench areas (unless in a garbage can) will be told to leave the playing area immediately. A Red Card will be issued for this, and the team will not be punished by having to play shorthanded. (They will be allowed to replace the player on the field). Anyone ejected for spitting will receive the following:

i)                    1st Offence: Ejection from the game without further suspension

ii)                   2nd Offence: 2 game suspensions

iii)                 3rd Offence:  At the discretion of the Discipline Administrator

The reason for the implementation of this rule is for the health and safety of everyone using the facilities.

For information regarding the penalties for “Spitting at Another Player/Official” see Schedule A of the Discipline Policy.
