Key Responsibilities

Treasurers play a vital role in AYSO’s ability to provide world class youth soccer programs that enrich children’s lives. In return, AYSO wants to ensure all its volunteers receive the maximum protection under the Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 and therefore requires that all volunteers:

•        Complete, sign, and submit a Volunteer Application each year;

•        Pass a background check;

•        Be authorized to do their jobs by the Region, Area, Section or other AYSO authority;

•        Act within their Position Descriptions and the scope of AYSO Policies, Procedures and Guidelines;

•        Complete Safe Haven Training;

•        Be properly trained in their jobs; and

•        Complete continuing education courses each year for your position.

In addition to the above requirements, each member of the Region’s Board of Directors (including the Regional Treasurer) must complete SafeSport and, in California, undergo a Live Scan background check (including fingerprinting.

Depending on the  volunteer’s other volunteer positions and the state where located, a volunteer may be required to be fingerprinted or complete Concussion Awareness and Sudden Cardiac Arrest training.  Where not required by state law,  Board Members are strongly encouraged to also complete Concussion Awareness and Sudden Cardiac Arrest training.  You should confirm with your Region which requirements apply to you.

The Regional Treasurer must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this Treasurer Manual, the AYSO Financial Policy, and the Regional Treasurer Position  Description and must strictly follow all of the procedures and meet all of the specified deadlines.  You will also want to have access to the (1) AYSO Reference Book, which contains the AYSO Bylaws, National Rules & Regulations, National Policy Statements, Region Operating Procedures, and other governing documents, and (2) AYSO Standard Policies and Protocols that are specific to your Region.
