4/14 Game vs Madison

Thanks for your flexibility in time change and field change for the game vs Madison. To reiterate what I sent in email, see the clarification on the Red Card during Sunday's game.

The rules state that any player ‘handling’ the ball to block a goal are automatically issued a Red Card and are also fined (as noted below).

The league takes these matters seriously and while some referees will provide some latitude in calls on the field, a handball in the box to deny a goal is a flagrant foul.

During Halftime, the Ref did explain further to the kids, but wanted to be sure you had some info. The result:

-$75-100 fine and penalty points assessed to player & team

-one game suspension

-automatic removal from the game
