We, the undersigned, members of Damascus Sports Association (DSA) and Damascus community, petition the DSA Board of Directors to disclose in detail why Phil Chapin was removed from coaching football and suspended for a one year period. Phil Chapin was selected as Head Coach for the DSA American 11-13 football team by the Coaches Screening Committee. Coach Chapin had no formal complaints against him and had the best evaluation score of any coach at any level in DSA. An appeal was filed against Coach Chapin being head coach with no reason given for the appeal. Coach Chapin did everything he was supposed to do within the rules and guidelines. Although there were no violations of policy and procedures found, the board upheld the appeal, removed Phil Chapin as coach and suspended him for one year. We are petitioning the Board because there is no basis for the removal and suspension of Coach Chapin and we, as members of DSA, would like full disclosure by the Board for the actions taken by the Board and the justification and reasoning for the removal and suspension of Coach Chapin.

The DSA Board continues to stay silent while they hide behind excuses instead of explaining why they destroyed a coach with a perfect record. We are demanding transparency because this shady behavior proves they have something to hide from every single one of us.

The momentum behind this petition proves that the Damascus Sports Association board cannot hide behind closed doors any longer. People are sick of this lack of accountability and they are demanding the truth about why a top-rated coach was targeted without cause.

Ridiculous. He put in so much time and effort for these boys just to get pushed out for no reason? Unbelievable.

Absolute joke. The board needs to stop acting like they are untouchable and tell us what really happened.

Phil is the best coach my son ever had. This decision makes absolutely no sense and the board needs to explain themselves.

Something stinks here. Best evaluation score but still suspended? Something is wrong with this board.

We need coach Chapin back. He was fair and the kids loved playing for him. Why ruin a good thing?
