(1) For the first offense, the person shall be reprimanded and suspended from participating in the next game at that level of play (varsity or junior varsity);

(2) For a second offense, the person shall be placed on probation and suspended for the next two games at that level of play (varsity or junior varsity);
(3) For a third offense, the person shall be suspended for one calendar year.

(i) Any student-athlete or administrator who is ejected or disqualified from a contest is required to complete the NFHS “Sportsmanship” course before being eligible to return to competition. Any coach who is ejected from a contest must take the NFHS “Teaching and Modeling Behavior” course before being eligible to return to the competition.
(j) If a team has student-athletes ejected due to fighting, the head coach must take the NFHS Learning Course “Teaching and Modeling Behavior.” It must be completed before coaching in the next game.

Athletic Directors Actions:

Once ejection is filed, both schools in the contest will be notified.
Only the athletic director for the school, with an ejected individual, will need to take any action.
