ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
In 2010 the SGFA Judiciary continues to adopt a Zero Tolerance policy.
ALL club members (committee, players, parents, spectators) are responsible for their actions both
on and off the field, and need to be aware of the rules of the Constitution & By-laws.
Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as an excuse under any circumstances,
and breaches will result in a suspension or fine as prescribed in the Bylaws.
