A few words on Fair Play: It is the team captain’s responsibility to ensure that ALL team members enjoy and participate in the games and are not left out or run over by hyper fellow team members because of a lesser ability to play soccer.

Teams deemed by the referees as not performing according to the spirit of FAIR PLAY will be given a warning though the respective team captain. b. Teams will be allowed up to only 2 warnings for non‐compliance of the FAIR PLAY spirit. c. The necessity to warn a 3rd time will lead to a yellow card for the team.
