The purpose of having discipline procedures is to ensure that the Rules and Regulations of The FA and County FA are upheld and to enforce good discipline and fair-play in the grassroots game.
Clubs playing at Steps 5 & 6 of the National League System are dealt with under a match-based suspension system in line with football played above that level. This also applies to our RN Representative Football Teams.
Clubs playing at Step 7 and below, including Youth and Sunday football, will continue to be dealt with according to a time-based suspension system. This also applies to our Ship/Unit Football Teams.
If a player participates at both levels then the punishment will be based on the level at which they were playing.
