NFHS has four levels of unsporting behavior management available to umpires.
1. Team warning; next offender is punished.
2. Individual warning; that individual is punished for 2nd offense.
3. Restriction to bench for the rest of the game.
4. Ejection from the game. Even if ejected, the player is required to remain in the dugout (unless she is signed out to the responsibility of her parents, or if a coach is available to sit with her in the parking lot or on team bus).
These are defined in rule 3.6 Bench & Field Conduct.
Most State Associations establish additional punishments for players ejected from a high school contest. Typically they are done for the rest of the day, and for the next day of play. (Not the next day - the next time you play.) So if a player is in a tournament or DH, and the next day of play is a tournament or DH, an ejected player can lose a lot of games.
Ejection can be very tough on
VB, SB, or BB players as they often have multiple matches or games on a single day. Others (ie., football or basketball or soccer) usually play single games so they would lose only two games.
