DISCIPLINARY ACTION

If the party is found in violation, loss of playtime, suspension or expulsion will incur without refund or release of financial obligations.
- If during an away event, and in the opinion of the Panther City Rugby, the athlete’s misconduct requires him/her to immediately return home to allow the team to continue activities he/she will be sent home at the expense of the parent/guardian (player, if an adult) by the most immediate and convenient means available to the coach or other PCR official.
- All illegal activities or gross misconduct will be handled through available campus or public safety officers.
