PAY THE REFEREE PRIOR TO THE MATCH

HEAD COACHES ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTIONS OF SPECTATORS AND OTHER TEAM ADMINISTRATORS.

When in the opinion of the referee spectators become disruptive, the referee may suspend the match and request that the coach or coaches speak to their respective spectators.  Coaches are REQUIRED to do this.  It is not the referee's responsibility.  Their responsibility is to focus on the players and the action on the field.  If the referee is unsatisfied that calm is restored or believes that fair play is unlikely to resume, he/she may abandon the match and must file a report with the District. An investigation will follow and appropriate action will be taken.

Likewise,  coaches and all other team administrators are prohibited from expressing dissent with referee calls or non calls.  Referees are instructed to sanctions coaches who are interfering with their ability to focus on play on the field.  Those sanctions include cautions and dismissals.
