This is the Head Coach’s responsibility and must be strictly adhered to as there are rules & regulations to follow. Suspensions that are not reported, may results in the suspension of the Head Coach. Of important note:

•     The referee provides the call.
•      Do not ask him/her how many games to serve as they do not know the player’s history.
•      The District 4 Chair provides the ruling on any suspension as they monitor and track all game sheets and have the player’s history recorded for first, second and third offenses.

- The procedure to report suspensions is located on the District 4 website.
