[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the MD club we were at last 2 years, one of the coaches actually pressurizes players to sign and return agreement right there or they don't get the spot. This is totally against CHRVA rules and year after year she coaxes people into signing up (either because they are new or if they are waitlisted by intimidating them by saying they might not make it anywhere and this is guaranteed). This seems totally against CHRVA rules but is there a way to file complaint anonymously? [/quote]
CHRVA has a whistleblower policy posted ([url]https://cdn1.sportngin.com/attachments/document/0d77-2720707/CHRVA_Whistleblower_Policy.pdf[/url]) but it seems more geared toward CHRVA staff, than parents or players.

The CHRVA Recruiting Guida ([url]https://cdn1.sportngin.com/attachments/document/0058/7505/CHRVA_Recruiting_Policy_FAQ_1_.pdf[/url]) says the following:

[quote][i]Reporting a Recruiting Violation Recruiting violations must be reported within 30 days of the infraction or discovery of the infraction. Reports must be submitted in writing, via USPS or email to the Juniors Rules and Ethics Chairperson or any member of the CHRVA Board of Directors. Include the details of the violation, the player(s), the club involved as well as the name, phone, and address of the individual filing the complaint. Phone calls and in person conversations are not considered valid reports. Confirmation of the receipt of complaint will be sent to the complainant within seven (7) business days.

Once a decision on a recruiting violation has been made by the Chesapeake Region, a response will be sent to the appropriate parties. The decision could result in a sanction against an individual(s), team(s) and/or a club up to and including suspension, monetary fines and the inability to register a team with CHRVA. Appeals can be made following the CHRVA Handbook procedures. All sanctions will be issued in accordance per the CHRVA Handbook or USAV policies. [/i][/quote]

It doesn't seem to contemplate anonymous recruiting complaints. While I understand why you would want to remain anonymous, it would difficult for CHRVA to conduct an investigation into the facts if they didn't know who was making the complaint. Perhaps you could send an email to the CHRVA Ethics chair ([url]Dee.Eddy@chrvavb.org[/url]) indicating that you have information about a potential recruiting violation, but are worried about retaliation if you make a complaint.[/quote]
