The 2010 Gainesville Gladiators Unity Council is being formed so that our players can bring new ideas to the table for us as an organization. The Panel will also be in charge of determining player discipline ranging from missed practices to other minor infractions. The Panel will also handle small details ranging from player attire to selecting representatives from the team for social events. From past experience, our organization felt that players bringing fresh, new ideas to us without fear of being shot down was important. It also brings upon a sense of leadership from players on the panel. We expect more from the Players Panel as leaders of our team and we look forward to great things out of these guys. T Players can lose their spots due to incompetence.
