RED CARDS

Players are automatically suspended when a red card is entered. The suspension is then reviewed by the GCF VP and any needed adjustments are made.

Discipline Report

Find players and coaches serving Red Cards and their status at Red Cards > Red Card List.

Reporting and Serving

When a player receives a red card during a match it must be reported. While it is the responsibility of the center referee to send in their report we ask that red cards be reported along with entering the score. This alerts GCF to the card.

Pay Fees

Pay fees through GotSport using the buttons below.

NEW---To ensure players are not hindered from playing, there will be a week grace period for the red card payment to be made. After that the club will be invoiced so that the player can be released upon serving. The club will submit payment and can follow their policy on collecting from the player, team, or cover it themselves.

So you were shown a Red Card ...

If you are a Player or Coach who received a Red Card follow these steps:

Report the Red Card to your club.
Pay your fine online through GotSport, see the button on this page. After one week your Club will be invoiced.
Serve the card at your next FYSA game(s) and have your name marked on the Match Card. If serving in a tournament you will need to complete and submit a Red Card Completion form.
Before your next game have your Team Manager verify you are no longer redlined on the roster.

Suspensions may be served during an FYSA sanctioned tournament.
Players serving cards are not permitted to play in any FYSA event while under suspension, but may serve the cards during those events. A player may be included on the roster for a tournament, but not play, and serve the suspension. In this case a Red Card Completion form must be submitted.
