2) In AYSO, "Due Process" = Notice + Opportunity to be Heard = Fairness. Due Process embodies society’s basic notions of fairness. When participation must be limited, suspended or revoked, it becomes necessary to provide the individual with due process and the right to be heard. Even though due process represents only small percentage of dispute outcomes, it is vital that it be handled properly. The process constitutes an “internal administrative proceeding” pursuant to California administrative law. AYSO refers to the process as a “review proceeding” in this course.
3) The "National Rules & Regulations" include rules of competition including match durations, substitutions, team sizes and membership, field and ball sizes, and the duties and responsibilities of coaches, referees, officials and team members.

"Standard Regional Policies & Protocols" (P&Ps) have been established as a Governing Document by the National Board of Directors (NBOD).
They are designed to inform the Regional Leadership (Regional Commissioner and Regional Board Members) about how an AYSO Region must be administered, and to
assure a successful and rewarding experience by our AYSO volunteers, players and families. These Standard Regional Policies & Protocols are abbreviated and referred to as the P&Ps.
