To All Coaches, Players and Parents 
There has been a huge number of Gross misconducts called in the GELC arenas
this season. It started the first week of the season and is continuing.

We need coaches to check their behaviors, if they are assistant coaches they
are to be seen on the bench and not heard by the officials during the game,
comments when necessary should go thru a team captain or head coach to the
officials only.

Fan Spector Liaisons are required to be visible in the stands and to assist
with curbing fan behavior before the officials become involved. 

Players
Please remind your players that chirping on the floor using profanity will
result in a gross misconduct being assessed to the player that an official
hears it coming from, it is often the player who is retaliating to the
comments not the original chirper. 

Fans ejected from games face at minimum a one game suspension from the next
team game, recorded on the game sheet.

Coaches ejected receive a one game suspension, if they are ejected a second
time 3 game suspension and escalates from there.

Players and coaches receiving a gross misconduct are not allowed in arenas,
for games or practices until such time as they appear before the discipline
committee. They cannot attend tournaments while under suspension or prior to
their hearing as well.

The GELC discipline committee meets every two weeks and if something occurs
the night of a discipline committee meeting that person is waiting two weeks
for the hearing. 

The discipline committee would appreciate everyone's attention to this
matter so that we can finish the season on a more positive note.
