Discipline By Review Schedule

The North York Youth Soccer League (the League) follows the Discipline by Review (DBR) System.

Schedule of League Discipline Hearing Dates

Except in cases of Ontario Soccer Misconduct Type 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6, an individual who is subject to the DBR System shall have the right to request to be disciplined by the Discipline By Hearing (DBH) System.

Where applicable, the accused shall submit a written request to the League within three (3) days of receiving the dismissal. This request must arrive before the date of the next scheduled Discipline Review meeting listed below and must be accompanied by a $100.00 (one hundred) non-refundable “Request for Hearing Fee”.

In cases where no dismissal/ejection was performed, the League shall notify the accused, provide a copy of the Special Incident Report and provide an opportunity for the accused to request a hearing within specified timelines.

All hearings will be held at NYSA – 75 Carl Hall Road, Unit 1, 2nd Floor starting at 7:00pm.

By appointment or confirmed request only. Drop-ins not allowed.

Discipline Hearing Administration fee: $50.00 to be paid prior to the hearing (meeting will not proceed without payment).

A Discipline Hearing Administrative Fee is only payable if the accused is found guilty of the charge.
