Red Card

[Unregistered]

Just curious as to what's the policy when a player receives a red card for fighting? A girl on my daughter's team threw a punch at another player (unprovoked). She was given a red card and ejected from the game, however, I was surprised to see her at practice the following day. Are they banned from practice until their two game suspension has been completed?

Generally no--but it could depend upon the league or an internal club policy. As a general rule, a red card would bar a player from next league game (or more depending upon the violation), but not from practice.

The real news here is that you saw a red card issued when the LOTG warranted it.

Suspension only has standing when it comes to games for that league. Whether or not they are barred from practice is totally up to the club and / or coach.

If dual rostering were allowed it would not even apply to a game in a different league.
