Players and their parents should contact their Coach or Club Director for information about their club and team(s). It is the Club Director’s responsibility to provide you with all the required and necessary information. However, if a player or parent cannot receive appropriate information from the Club Director or Coach, the information can be found on the Keystone Region website. If a parent needs to contact the Keystone Region, please do so via email and include as much detail as possible.
The Keystone Region is willing to investigate complaints that are lodged against various personnel such as club directors, coaches, officials, tournament directors, KRVA staff, or parents, but only if a complaint falls under the jurisdiction of the Keystone Region. If a complaint does not fall under the Keystone Region’s jurisdiction, the Region cannot act against the person because the Keystone Region does not have the authority to govern the acts that brought on the complaint. To file a complaint, please view the information below.
