Page 47: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

Boys Soccer Ejection Policy

RATIONALE:The change in penalty for ejections involving violent conduct and abusive language is to deter behavior being exhibited during boys’ soccer matches. This change is meant to deal with the actions of the players. It was not intended to put a spotlight on the officials or the rules of the game. In order to effectively implement the new policy, we are asking that officials continue to call the game in the manner they have been.

Page 48: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

Boys Soccer Ejection Policy

Violent Conduct:• "The commission of a violent act against an opponent, an official, a

spectator, teammate or other individuals when the ball is in or out of play."

• A player is guilty of violent conduct if he/she uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.

• He/she is also guilty of violent conduct if he/she uses excessive force or brutality against a team-mate, spectator, match official or any other person.

• Violent conduct may occur either on the field of play or outside its boundaries, whether the ball is in play or not.

Page 49: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

Page 60: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

Rule Violations and Penalties

The strength of the WIAA lies in the willingness and ability of the membership to support the rules and regulations adopted and, if necessary, to support the penalties placed upon members, if it is determined that those same rules and regulations have been violated.

Page 61: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

Self Reporting Rule Violations by Member SchoolsWhen a school or the WIAA staff becomes aware that a rule has been violated, the offending school principal (or designee) must report the infraction and any action taken by the school in writing within five (5) school business days to:1. the superintendent of the offending school2. the league of school membership for review and

action, and3. the appropriate WIAA District.

Rule Violations and Penalties

Page 62: 2013 FALL WORKSHOP

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

The process for developing a penalty starts with the offending school’s administrator contacting the league president and determining the parameters for developing the offending school’s proposal for penalty and any other remedies.

If there is a doubt about a proposal, the WIAA staff must be contacted for assistance. The WIAA staff may assist or seek guidance from members of the review panel. The penalties listed provide those available to the leagues, districts, and WIAA Executive Board.

WASHINGTON INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION | 2013-14 ONLINE RULES CLINICS

Middle Level Sportsmanship Program

WIAA’s middle level vision for sportsmanship and citizenship is built on expectations. It calls on the school community, teachers, coaches, students and parents to strive for excellence in everything it does through “Give Me 5” (Sportsmanship, Respect, Honor, Citizenship, and Courage). The program encourages schools to implement a year-round plan shaped by the participation of coaches, parents, teachers and students. In addition, each school’s leadership is encouraged to support the school’s sportsmanship and citizenship program using the “Give Me 5” program’s ideals and criteria. All middle level member schools will receive a “Give Me 5” banner from the WIAA. Please hang it in your gym and use it to help motivate great behaviors and to make connections with other member schools.

Check out the documents on the WIAA website to help your school develop a program.
