St. Albert Raiders
Policy and Process

Conduct Management Policy
We feel that the fundamental goal of the game is for participants to have fun in a safe
and healthy setting. It is evident that playing the game, whether as a player, coach,
official, or spectator, is more fun when all participants act cooperatively and with the
players' best interests in mind.
The Conduct Management Policy assists administrators in implementing standards for
investigating complaints, and distributing sanctions and discipline for conduct-related issues.

The coach selection policy aims to provide a fair, transparent, and consistent selection of coaches from a set of coach candidates.
