DISCIPLINE (Taken from the Kent League Website)
We have received the following from South Region:
Council at its June meeting discussed the annual report of the Regional Disciplinary
Administrator and reports from the Umpires’ Association on the number of yellow cards
issued during the 2005-06 season. Council noted that there were several formal
match‑day misconduct reports in addition to the red cards for playing offences.
During last season Council noted that our umpires’ associations were continuing to
express concern at the increased lack of politeness and inappropriate off pitch
behaviour by players, team officials and spectators towards umpires at all levels of the
game in the South. Council noted with regret reports of umpires who had given up as
a result of the increasing level of abuse.
The Rules of Hockey set down in no uncertain terms penalties for unfair and physical
play and for abuse directed at umpires, other players and officials. The Rules are, in
England, backed up by a Code of Discipline designed to deal with the worst offences in
a fair and transparent manner. Everyone should be aware that the penalties laid down
in the Code are MINIMUM penalties and that disciplinary officers and committees will set
higher penalties when the offence so justifies.
Any action on a hockey field, whether impetuous or not, which if done elsewhere would
render the offender liable to criminal action must be penalised with a red card.
To Clubs and Players
Our sport can only be played if each match has two umpires. As you will be aware
umpires are in short supply throughout the game. Our umpires’ associations are
making every effort to increase the number of umpires and to improve the standard of
umpiring to match the improving player standards. They will only succeed if clubs and
players co-operate in this process by showing that umpires are a valued and respected
part of the game and by encouraging players to learn the Rules and even, if only
occasionally, to blow a whistle.
Clubs must cherish all who are prepared to blow a whistle. If things are not perfect a
sensible, logical and friendly discussion over tea or in the bar in the best approach.
This is a two way process and it is of course incumbent upon umpires to take part in a
non-confrontational process.
The increasingly poor attitude of some clubs towards umpires remains a grave
concern. This poor behaviour takes a variety of forms including on and off the pitch
insults, failures to welcome umpires and in the worst cases to berate the umpire before
he or she has left the pitch. Some clubs have failed to provide even the basic
elements of hospitality after matches
Players are right to have high expectations but umpires will always make mistakes, but
always far fewer than the collective number of mistakes by a team. Vilification of an
umpire for what a player, team or coach considers an error will not assist the umpire to
develop skill and empathy with the players. Abusing an umpire is purely a voluntary
act and county disciplinary officers have been asked to apply a minimum 30 day ban
for players who receive a red card for this offence.
