Misconduct Reports



Click HERE for the misconduct form or go to "Forms" section and find the appropriate form

Referees must provide the appropriate authorities with a match report which includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players, and/or team officials and any other incidents which occurred before, during or after the match.

Referees are required to do one of two things whenever they caution or send off a player or observe misconduct:

  • Cautions  - They must report the incident on the game report
  • Send Offs  - They must complete a misconduct report, notify Jennifer or Mickey and place report with game card in the ref area game report boxes. Adult player cards are sent in with the report for all red cards.

You must ensure that all the information required is brief and legible on the form.  These offenses are reported on the Match Report Form using the Caution Code as appropriate.
