- Bullying can be social, often times called ‘relational bullying’, when someone is left out on purpose, when someone tells kids to not be friends with someone, when a child spreads rumors about another kid, or when a child intentionally embarrasses another child in public.

- A first instance of bullying will require the player to have conversation with his or her parent, coach and possibly bullied teammate/individual as well as possibly miss at least one practice or game.
- A second instance of bullying will require a player to miss at least two practices or games
- A third instance of bullying will be referred to the club disciplinary committee and can result in the family/child having their player card returned to them and being asked to leave the club.
I understand failure to comply with these policies may result in disciplinary action or sanctions by Clippers FC, including, but not limited to, being asked to miss practice, benched for game(s), referral to the club’s disciplinary committee and removed from the team for severe, repeated violations of this code of conduct and/or anti-bullying policy.
