Multiple Policies for a Model in Laravel

Question

Does Laravel allow us to add multiple Policies for a Model? I.e. consider App\Providers\ASuthServiceProvider's $policies property:

protected $policies = [
    'App\Team' => 'App\Policies\TeamPolicy',
    'App\Team' => 'App\Policies\RoundPolicy',
    'App\Team' => 'App\Policies\AnotherPolicy',
];

I haven't tested it in an application, because even if it worked, I would be here asking a similar question, regarding whether this is considered bad practise or prone to unexpected behaviour.

The alternative I have is a very messy Policy, containing policies relating to several controllers, named in camel case:

/**
 * Allows coach of Team and admin to see the Team management view.
 * Used in TeamManagementController
 *
 * @param  App\User   $user
 * @param  App\Team   $team
 * @return boolean
 */
public function manage(User $user, Team $team)
{
    return  $user->id === $team->user_id || $user->isAdmin();
}

/**
 * Allows a coach to detach themself from a Team.
 * Used in TeamController
 *
 * @param  App\User   $user
 * @param  App\Team   $team
 * @return boolean
 */
public function detach(User $user, Team $team)
{
    return  $user->id === $team->user_id;
}

/**
 * Below function are used for controllers other than TeamController and TeamManagementController.
 * Reason: We need to authorize, based on a Team. Hence, using this Policy.
 */

/**
 * Allows coach of Team, as well as admin to view players of a Team.
 * Used in PlayerController
 *
 * @param  App\User   $user
 * @param  App\Team   $team
 * @return boolean
 */
public function indexPlayers(User $user, Team $team)
{
    return  $user->id === $team->user_id || $user->isAdmin();
}

/**
 * Allows coach of Team, as well as admin to view players of a Team as an array.
 * Used in PlayerController
 *
 * @param  App\User   $user
 * @param  App\Team   $team
 * @return boolean
 */
public function fetchPlayers(User $user, Team $team)
{
    return  $user->id === $team->user_id || $user->isAdmin();
}

etc. etc.

You could use traits to separate the logic for your policy.

You would create a base TeamPolicy and then multiple traits with the various methods that you would want within the base class.

<?php

class TeamPolicy
{
    use RoundPolicy, AnotherPolicy;
}
