Again this year the BCLOA and all of its members will be cracking down on instances of abuse of officials. All member associations should instruct all coaching and player personnel of the BCLA'S rules.
All associations should have a copy of the BCLA Minor Box Goalie Equipment Policy. These will be enforced by all minor referees when asked by teams and in all cases the referee's judgement is final.
