NEW RULE:
VI. CLASSIC LEAGUE PLAY
4. Dress Code. In keeping with its Mission Statement to provide a select soccer program “in a safe environment so that serious players can develop their skills to the highest level”, the League has adopted the following dress code to promote health and well-being, instill discipline, prevent disruption, and avoid safety hazards. A rostered individual’s dress and grooming must not be a health or safety hazard to others. The League prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on materials or clothing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar, immodest, or promote or refer to alcoholic beverages, drugs, or any illicit substance. Clothing items depicting or promoting acts of violence, membership in a gang or secret society, guns, weapons, death, dismemberment, disfigurement, or other offensive items are specifically prohibited.
5. Dress Code Violations. Any rostered individual failing to comply with the Dress Code may be removed from the game and/or soccer complex until such time as the individual is in compliance. During League sponsored soccer activities, Board members on duty and/or their representatives shall have broad discretion to determine whether an individual is in compliance with the Dress Code. Further, failure to comply with the Dress Code may result in additional sanctions against the offending individual, his team, his club, and his coach. Sanctions may include fines and/or suspensions as determined by the A&D Committee. Persistent, wide-spread or egregious violations of the Dress Code may be deemed unsporting, unethical, harmful, and/or prejudicial to the League. Nothing herein shall restrict the ability of a Board member on duty (or any other person in charge of a league sponsored soccer activity) from imposing additional standards, including with respect to spectators, to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the peace, prevent disruption, and avoid safety hazards.
