Town & Country Zero Tolerance

							             Town & Country Zero Tolerance
                 Referee Abuse Policy

   All persons responsible for a team (coaches,
   assistants, team parents, and team managers) and
   spectators shall support the referee team. Failure to
   do so undermines the referee’s authority and
   potentially creates a hostile environment for the
   players, the referees, and spectators.

   Town and Country has a zero tolerance policy
   towards referee abuse. Any dissent toward the
   decisions of the referee will not be tolerated. There is
   to be absolutely no disputing calls during the game.
   Polite and friendly feedback can be given a referee
   but sarcasm, harassment, or intimidation will not be
   tolerated. There is to be no yelling at the referee
   ever. No one is to address the referee or enter the
   field of play during the game with the following
   exceptions: Responding to a referee who initiates
   communication, asking for a substitution, or pointing
   out emergencies or safety issues.

   Failure to adhere to this policy could result in the
   person being asked to leave the complex. Continued
   abuse of this policy could result in the forfeiture of the
   game and possibly remaining games.
