MIAA Board of Directors Approves Experimental Soccer Rule Addendum for 2005 Season

At their meeting on August 9, 2005 the Board approved the recommendation of the Soccer Committee to add the following to existing MIAA Soccer Sport Rule 75.2.12 which addresses consequences for Coaches receiving yellow cards:

“…A fourth yellow card in a season shall result in a one year suspension.”

The Board of Directors endorsed the Soccer Committee rationale that a coach, who should be setting the example for his/her players, should be held to a higher standard. If a coach has already received three (3) yellow cards in one season and has been suspended for two (2) games, then repeats his/her pattern of negative behavior and subsequently receives a fourth card, they should not be in a leadership position and are deserving of a minimum of a one-year suspension from the date the fourth offense occurs.
