Trounce rule - Dynamo is
a recreational league and both teams are responsible for trying to maintain a
positive and reasonable style of play. Coaches are asked to take heed of goal
differential and adjust their coaching style to maintain a high level of
sportsmanship. If the goal differential becomes 4 or greater it is
recommended that coaches substitute their higher skilled players or place
higher skilled players in goal or at defense to slow down their scoring and
limit the oppositions scoring. (See age group rules for specific trounce
guidelines) If a team doesn’t adhere to these guidelines disciplinary action
may be taken by the board. If a coach needs suggestions on ways to limit
trounces, either offensively or defensively, please seek out a board member
for suggestions.
Penalties for Disciplinary Infractions:
Red carded players must meet before the
disciplinary committee before playing again
Any parent, coach, etc. that is asked to leave
a game, practice or the facility will be required to meet before the
