Meaningful Involvement Fundamentally, the principle of meaningful involvement ensures that every player is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of his or her team through their unique skills and qualities. This means that every teammate: (a) demonstrates sufficient sport specific skills and game understanding; (b) plays a valued role on the team that emphasizes his or her personal talents; and (c) has an opportunity to play without a heightened risk of injury
Player Domination Meaningful Involvement is not achieved when certain team members: Display superior sports skills without involving their teammates. Serve predominantly as on-field coaches rather than teammates. Control most aspects of the game, especially during the most critical periods..
Player Domination Protocol If a coach feels that an opposing team’s Unified Partner is dominating play, the coach can call a time-out (uncharged) to discuss with the opposing team’s coach. If the coaches cannot come to a consensus on if the Unified Partner was dominating play, the official shall make the final decision. If it is deemed that the Unified Partner is in fact dominating play, the official shall sanction the player and/or coach. Sanctions will include: issuing a team warning for player domination, citing the Unified Partner and/or coach with unsportsmanlike conduct, or removing the Unified Partner and/or coach from the game if the violation is egregious. Teams are allowed a maximum of two warnings for player domination. Upon the third violation of player domination, the offending team will be required to forfeit the game.
