  5. Zero Tolerance Policy No player, parent, coach or fan may argue with an umpire/referee/official. Coaches are reminded that they may ask for clarification on rules but under no circumstances are they to yell, call out, or question officials during the game. Sarcasm or angry tones are not acceptable. COACHES are responsible to remind spectators & players not to challenge or criticize the officials. Consequences of arguing with an official: Ejection from all DAA games the day of the ejection plus one additional game. Any person ejected from a game more than once in a season (i.e. fall or spring) will be suspended from DAA games for the remainder of the season. Failure to leave the complex (fields, gyms, parking areas) will result in forfeiture of game by the team associated with the ejected party. There will be no profanity, abusive language, or obscene gestures towards any official, coach, player, or fan. Consequences: Cause for suspension from all games for the remainder of the season Any type of violence will result in immediate expulsion from the league. Consequences: Expulsion for the current year & subject to review for any other subsequent year.
