Astoria Sports reserves the absolute right to suspend or ban any players (current or prospective) from further or future activities based upon the actions of that player(s) on or off the field as defined by the league, or for any reason, except on the basis of sex, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, mental, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression/dysphoria, sex characteristics, religious, creed or individual political opinions.

Violation of ANY of the league rules and code of conduct could result in expulsion from the league with forfeiture of registration fee.

No individual shall:

  • Bring altered, illegal or non-approved equipment onto the field or court.
  • Use unnecessarily rough or illegal tactics in the play of game that can lead to injury

  • Appear on the field of play, at any time, in an intoxicated condition or under the influence of any type of drug
  • Demonstrate unsportsmanlike conduct, in any manner.  Unsportsmanlike conduct consists of, but not limited to, treating teammates unfairly, not allowing others to enter the game for reasons outside of an injury concern, and harassing behavior.

These actions are prohibited and can lead to removal from the league for the safety and well being of all league members.

No individual shall threaten, either directly or implicitly, any players, spectators or officials under any circumstances.
