UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO DEVELOPMENT

LEAGUE The University of Toronto Development League (D-League) is designed to give competitive-level athletes at the University of Toronto an opportunity to develop their skills through practice and competition. Included in the D-League is coach development, official development, and opportunities for students to become game staff and game managers. University of Toronto Development League athletes try-out for teams and have regular weekly practices and more games during the regular season than intramural sports. Sportsmanship and development are pillars to the University of Toronto Development League. The D-League is an opportunity to enhance your University of Toronto experience, and experiences for all participants should be challenging, safe, and fun.

Equity Standards

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education strives to create and maintain a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for all students and members in all our facilities – one that is aligned with University policies, guidelines and statements on equity, diversity and excellence. To this end, the Faculty has made a systemic commitment to equity through a variety of targeted strategies and initiatives. Staff and student training includes: workshops and sessions on accessibility, sexual and gender diversity, anti-racism and cultural diversity. The Faculty works closely with the University’s equity officers at the Accessibility, Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity, Diversity, and Status of Women offices to design and deliver this training, and to consult on the Faculty equity outreach initiatives. Accessibility The Faculty ensures that it is aligned with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), which indicates that all educational instructional institutions in the public sector are required to review, plan and implement changes to remove barriers that might preclude full participation in society. We incorporate AODA into our staff training and into our facilities, programs and services as much as possible. In the Athletic Centre, for example, new automatic doors, accessible washrooms, a specially-designed strength circuit, and a lift in the pool are examples of our efforts to increase accessibility. Varsity Centre was also designed with many accessible features in mind. In addition, the Faculty endeavours to bring awareness to mental health and

3

learning disabilities in relation to active healthy living among staff and students. All work in this area is ongoing and part of a continuous improvement process. We also work closely with Accessibility Services and Students for Barrier Free Access to facilitate the inclusion of students with disabilities into all aspects of university life, working with them to provide programs and services to students and members with a documented disability, be it physical, sensory, a learning disability or a mental health condition, temporary or long-term. We deliver awareness events and activities to build an inclusive culture for those with disability. Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity The Faculty strives to ensure all members of the University community can participate in our programming free of bias or discrimination, and are treated with dignity and respect. Targeted initiatives, events and programs that highlight the intersection between active healthy living and ethno-cultural diversity are part of the Faculty’s equity initiatives and ongoing programs, working in partnership with the Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office. Policy initiatives are focused on honouring the institutional commitment of the University of Toronto as an organization exemplifying commitment to anti-racism and the elimination of systemic discrimination. Events and programs are also developed to highlight the relationships between healthy active living and ethno-cultural diversity, critical race-related issues, and issues of relevance to the larger community on campus that will strengthen both the diversity of the university community and its commitment to an equitable environment. Sexual and Gender Diversity The Faculty encourages and aims to increase the participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer individuals and groups. We are an active member of the Positive Space Committee and work with the Sexual and Gender Diversity Office, which strive to increase awareness of sexual and gender diversity while creating an inclusive and affirming environment for all students, faculty staff and members. There are a variety of equity issues that call for public discussion and political support. One distinctive result of marginalization based on sexual orientation and gender identity is that many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people remain closeted. They grow up in an environment hostile to sexual and gender diversity and often expect negative views, unless given a strong indication to the contrary. In other words, the ways that sexual minorities are marginalized makes Positive Space the kind of campaign where focusing on visibility is an appropriate response. Highlighting sexual and gender diversity as distinct from other equity issues works against the silence that otherwise permeates our culture all too often.

A substitution is made when the ball is in or out of play and the following conditions are observed:

The player leaving the pitch must do so from his own team's substitution zone.

The player entering the pitch must also do so from his own team's substitution zone but not until the player leaving the pitch has passed completely over the touch line.

A substitute is subject to the authority and jurisdiction of the referees whether called upon to play or not.

The substitution is completed when the substitute enters the pitch, from which moment he becomes an active player and the player whom he is replacing ceases to be an active player.

A goalkeeper may change places with any other player (at any stoppage in play by informing the referee of this change).

If while a substitution is being made, a substitute enters the pitch before the player being replaced has completely left, or a player entering or leaving the pitch from a place other than his own team's substitution zone, the following occurs.

1) Play is stopped. 2) The player being replaced is instructed to leave the pitch. 3) The substitute is cautioned and shown the yellow card. 4) Play is restarted with an indirect free kick to be taken by the opposing team from the place

where the ball was situated when the game was stopped. However, if the ball was inside the penalty area, the indirect free kick is taken from the penalty area line at the place nearest to the position of the ball when play was stopped.

Starting Play: The visiting team as listed on the game sheet will kick-off to start the match. The home team will kick-off to start the second half. Players cannot score directly from the kick-off. Opponents of the team taking the kick-off must be on their own half of the field and at least 3 m from the ball until it is in play. There are no throw-ins after the ball goes out of bounds. Play is restarted with a kick-in, wherein the ball is placed on the boundary line and kicked into play by a member of the non-offending team. No defender may be within 3 meters. The kick-in is indirect. Fouls and Misconducts: The following are examples of fouls and/or misconduct:

plays in a dangerous manner;

deliberately impedes the progress of an opponent;

prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands;

kicks or attempts to kick an opponent;

trips or attempts to trip an opponent;

jumps at an opponent;

handles the ball deliberately, except for the goalkeeper in his own penalty area. These infractions may be accompanied by a yellow card or a red card. Two yellow cards in a game causes the player to be ejected, and to be automatically suspended for at least one game. Penalty Kicks: A penalty-kick is awarded if a player commits one of the ten penal offences inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball but provided that it is in play. Free Kicks: All free kicks, with the exception of the penalty kick, are indirect. The ball must be stationary when the kick is taken. All opponents must be 5 m. from the ball until it is in play, unless they are on their own goal line between the goal posts. A free kick taken within a team’s own penalty area must be kicked directly out of the area. Opponents remain outside the penalty area until after the ball is in play. The player taking the free kick may not contact the ball a second time before it touches another player (result: free kick for non-offending team). Yellow Cards: A player receiving a yellow card must leave the field and his/her team plays short-handed for two (2) minutes). A player receiving a second yellow card in the same game has the same result as a red card. 3 Yellow Cards in a season will result in a one game suspension. Red Cards: A player receiving a red card is ejected from the game. His team must also play short-handed for five (5) minutes, but the team returns to full strength at the end of that time. A player receiving a red card for fighting/disorderly conduct will be instructed to leave the facility, at which time the game will resume. Miscellaneous:
