Caution Cards & Offenses

The FXA Sports community will not condone or tolerate violations of our Code of Conduct, Sportsmanship Policy, or the Laws of the Game.

All participants are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct and Sportsmanship Policy at all times.

• The League endorses a zero tolerance approach to foul, abusive, or degrading language. Foul and abusive language includes, but is not limited to, profanity, racial/gender/religious/ethnic slurs or degrading comments, and harassing or demeaning words, phrases, or gestures.
• The League endorses a zero tolerance approach to dissent of a referee's call. When a player or a substitute on the bench persistently dissents, regardless of whether foul, abusive, or degrading language is used, the referee will eject the player/substitute. When a player on the field is ejected for dissent, the team may replace that player (at the referee's discretion) and DOES NOT have to play down a player. When either a player or a substitute on the bench is ejected for dissent, they must immediately leave the field and the surrounding area.
