DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

First offense:

A meeting will take place with all involved parties (Player, Parent, Coach, BVSC Administrator, Director of Recreation and if necessary the BVSC Disciplinary Committee) to discuss the issue and ultimate resolution

Second offense:

A two-week suspension from all team activities will be enforced for the involved party. 

Third offense:

The person(s) in violation will be suspended from any team involvement for the remainder of the current season. Any future return to play/involvement will not be guaranteed but will be granted if reconciliation can be reached. Involvement will then be granted on a probationary basis. Any violation during that time may result in dismissal from BVSC.

If an offense is severe in nature, BVSC reserves the right to move directly to the consequences of the second or third offense after which a meeting may take place.
