Colony Park Football Club

Ref	Club Rules - Issue No 7 - As at August 2003
1	No youth may be a member without parent / guardian consent.
2	At Pre-Competitive age groups (8's, 9's, 10's, 11's and 12's) the Club will accept any youth as a member with no restriction on residence.
3	Both Colony Park and Colony Colts teams shall, in the absence of specific Committee approval, have a maximum of five players in their squads who are not ordinarily resident within the Inverurie town boundaries. Trialists are included within these quotas. Both Colony Park and Colts squad Managers/Coaches must jointly assess their squads in April each year and must allow players to move in either direction in order to allow players to develop. All teams on production of a reasonable case for deviation to the above rule will come before the Executive Committee for a decision. Inverurie town boundaries or "local" shall be within a six mile radius of Inverurie.
4	The Colony Park 19's "A" team is exempt from rule (3) until further notice.
5	Any youth who has previously been a member of the Club at a pre-competitive age group but who lives out with the Inverurie town boundaries is exempt from rule (3).
6	It is preferred that every player should compete at his own age level. However, where this ruling restricts the development of an individual who is capable of competing at a higher age level, team managers, the youth, his parents and the Committee, must all be in agreement prior to the youth playing at a higher level.
7	When a club member is sent off the field of play, or accumulated the necessary points to appear before the League Executive Committee, the club will pay the resultant fine for the first appearance only. Any subsequent fines incurred for that season will be the responsibility of the offending player.
8	Furthermore the Club Chairman may, at his discretion, request the offending player to appear before the Management Committee, and be subject to any additional Club discipline as deemed necessary.
9	Any youth participating in a match or tournaments arranged through the club must wear the club uniform in place at that time.
