Article II.I of the Bylaws of the Central Virginia Soccer Association states:

I. Disciplinary Actions

1. Classifications***:

Card Offenses	Abbreviations	Points
Delays the Restart of Play	DRP	2
Dissent	DST	2
Enters the Field of Play	ENF	2
Fails to Respect the Required Distance	FRRD	2
Leaves the Field of Play	LVF	2

* This is a guide and may be adjusted based on circumstances.
** Red card offenses carry over to the following season (Spring, Fall).
*** Repeat offenders (including teams) are subject to more severe or additional penalties up to and including expulsion from the league.
2. A team is responsible for the behavior of its fans. Failure of the team to control its fans may result in severe fines for the team.
3. Any team wishing to file an appeal of the actions taken by the Disciplinary Committee must do so within five days after receiving official notification from the committee. After five days the findings become final. A $25.00 fee is required with each appeal. The fee is refundable if the appeal committee returns a favorable decision. Only disciplinary penalties imposed by the League (e.g.,probation, suspension, expulsion, etc.) may be appealed; referee-issued disciplinary cards (yellow) and the associated disciplinary points may not be overturned since doing so would undermine the on-field authority of the referees.

The accumulated points are as follows:

1. Five Points:

2. Ten Points

3. Fifteen Points:

4. Regular Season versus Cup Competition:

Note: When enforcing Spitting, VC, and Striking penalties:

Cup and Regular season matches are combined.
If the player is on multiple teams, said player must serve the suspension (for the team the suspension was assessed) in its entirety before being eligible for any other CVSA match regardless of division.
The penalties carry over to the following season / Cup competition until the full suspension is served.

APPEALS: Any team or individual wishing to appeal a disciplinary sanction should consult Article II.I.3 of the Bylaws of the Central Virginia Soccer Association.
In addition, penalties dealing with referee abuse are covered by the Metropolitan DC-Virginia Soccer Association Greensheet, and United States Soccer Federation Bylaw §531- 9.
The CVSA Board and Disciplinary Committee reserve the right to strengthen (up to and including expulsion from the league) or lessen any sanction based on the best interests of the league.

In July of 2019, the CVSA Board adopted of Code of Conduct, which all members are expected to withhold:

The CVSA is committed to maintaining sportsmanship and a family friendly environment. The members believe that part of the mission of adult soccer should be to set an example for members of our community of how to act with sportsmanship, show respect for opponents, and be an inclusive league for those who enjoy soccer.

Therefore, the CVSA expects all participants, fans, and team representatives to treat opponents and officials with respect. Failure to do so may lead to penalties, including potential expulsion for improper conduct.

Violent attacks, racial, ethnic, xenophobic, or homophobic comments, or other intimidating/inappropriate actions directed at officials, opponents, fans, or team representatives will not be tolerated and are grounds for suspensions up to and including termination/expulsion from the league.

The CVSA looks forward to continued success as a fun place to enjoy soccer in our community.
