Policies for Recruiting Juniors
Compliance is Mandatory
It is imperative that OVR policies for recruiting juniors be followed with no exceptions. Those policies are based on the rules of OHSAA and other state athletic associations, put into place to protect athletes' scholastic eligiblity, and also on necessary measures of respect between clubs to best serve all athletes of the OVR.
Reporting Violations
Every violation of OVR recruiting policies must be reported to Bob Price, Commissioner (price@ovr.org, 614-882-2468). The OVR Incident Report should be used to report the violation. If you are unsure of whether the conditions of a contact constitute a violation, contact Bob for guidance.
Reports must be first-hand, coming from the athlete and/or a parent/guardian representing that athlete. Club directors and coaches impacted by illegal recruiting practices should encourage the individuals being recruited and their parents/guardians to file an Incident Report immediately.
