Penalties

Penalties are enforced to ensure player safety, promote sportsmanship, and address rule violations. Referees will document all Major Fouls (10- or 15-yard penalties), as well as any concerns involving players, coaches, or parents.

Parents of players who incur Major Fouls will be notified via email about their child's conduct.

• A player who receives two Major Fouls in a single game will be ejected from that game.
• Any player accumulating three Major Fouls over the course of a season will receive a one-game suspension.
