Penalties
St. Ursula Academy athletes or parents of athletes who fail to
observe obligations regarding attendance, parent meetings,
sportsmanship, respect for facilities, support for the sports
program, or safety violations may be suspended temporarily
or permanently from the athletic program at the discretion of
the athletic director in consultation with the principal and
coach. First time minor infractions for players normally
result in reduced playing time.
Ejections
Any player ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct shall be
ineligible for contests for the remainder of that day as well as
for all contests, until two regular season/tournament contests
are played at the same level as the game at which the student
was ejected. A student who is ejected a second time shall be
suspended for the remainder of the season.
