take appropriate action. DEVELOPMENTAL

Administrators should promote good sportsmanship for players, fans and coaches.


In case of lightning, play should stop for 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder or flash of lightning as determined by game officials.


If a player is injured or bleeding he should be treated immediately and a substitute must replace him.
