Penalty Cards:
Yellow Cards - Represents a visual warning to the player, coach and spectators, as a form of a caution for a players/coach’s conduct on or off the field. The player who has received the yellow card may continue playing in the game. If player who receives a second yellow card in a game, they are shown the yellow card again, and then a red card, meaning that the player must leave the field immediately and take no further part in the game.
Red Cards – Represents a serious offence and often results in a player or coach being permanently suspended from the remainder of the game. Each red card will be taken under review and the penalty laid down each time at the GRP level. Possibly consequences may include:
· The player or coach will also miss the first all or half of their next game.
· If there was violent conduct (fighting etc.) there may be more of a suspension.
