A second confirmed incident will result in a warning, extra laps and parent notification. A third confirmed incident would result in a one game suspension. Any subsequent incidents will result in progressive suspensions.

Be involved in community misconduct. Confirmed community misconduct will result in an immediate one week suspension. A second confirmed incident will result in dismissal from the program.
Use or be in possession of a tobacco product, alcohol or illegal drugs. If a player or cheerleader is charged by the police with use or possession of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs, the individual will be placed on indefinite suspension pending disposition of the case.
