For Parents:

• I recognize that the Team Coach will handle infractions that occur at times other than during the game. 

• I recognize that infractions that occur during the game are governed by the Laws of the Game and will be decided by the Match Official. The result may be a caution (yellow card) or dismissal (red card), in which case there may be further action, including suspensions or fines, by the league. 

• I recognize that certain serious infractions will result in a discipline hearing convened by Oklahoma Soccer Association or Green Country or their delegate, and could lead to a suspension from soccer. 

• Minor Infractions (e.g., occasional negative comments, minor disruptions):

  • First Offense: Verbal warning from the coach or league official.

  • Second Offense: Written warning and a meeting with the coach and league officials.

  • Third Offense: Required to observe games from a designated area away from the field.
