parent sideline policy

1. If an adult person (“adult person” includes a parent, adult relative, family friend, or guardian) from an RCL team receives a red card, causes the coach to receive a red card, or is asked to leave a soccer game by a referee, that person is suspended for a minimum of three consecutive game weekends without appeal. If the incident occurs within the season's previous three games, the suspension shall carry over to the following RCL season. 

2. A second offense will suspend that adult person from all matches for the remainder of the current season. If the second incident occurs within the last three games of the current season, the RCL Disciplinary Committee will review and determine the appropriate suspension extension into the following RCL season. 

3. All parent or parent-caused coach ejections shall be reported to the RCL Commissioner by the Club’s Director of Coaching/Technical Director/Executive Director. 

4. The adult person’s Club must enforce this rule. The Club shall notify the RCL Commissioner upon successful completion of the suspension. If the RCL Board or RCL Commissioner determines the Club is not fully enforcing the suspension or a parent/spectator fails to comply, the RCL Commissioner and RCL Board will conduct a review and take further action in the form of sanction(s) against the parent’s player, team, and/or Club. .
