Volunteer oppertunities

---

We are excited about the creation and implementation of two new boards for the RSL-AZ West Valley 2024/2025 season. These boards will be made up of a member of the RSL-AZ West Valley leadership team and 5 parents for the Review Board and 3 parents for the Scholarship Board. These parents should be individuals who do not already serve in a volunteer or paid coaching position with the club and should also not be directly related to a paid staff member.

RSL- AZ West Valley Review Board

The RSL-AZ West Valley Review Board will meet via Zoom as needed to review instances of reported violations of the Code of Conduct and/or Policy Handbook. Violations can pertain to parents, players, and supporters; coaches reported for violations are handled separately as they are paid employees and report to their respective Coaching Director. Any demeaning or discriminatory language or acts of threatening and/or violence reported to have been used by a parent, player or supporter will be referred to the RSL-AZ West Valley Review Board for disciplinary review. The Board will analyze the report and examine the facts presented through incident reports, witness statements, and any audio or video evidence and provide guidance and feedback to RSL-AZ West Valley Leadership for next steps.  Discipline could culminate in the suspension from games and training, as well as, removal from RSL-AZ West Valley.

RSL-AZ West Valley Scholarship Board

The Scholarship Board will meet sometime between July 22-July 30 to review all submitted scholarship applications received by the due date. All players may apply to the RSL-AZ West Valley Scholarship Fund for scholarship assistance; however, there are limited funds available to be awarded. Members of this board consider and evaluate the submitted applications and associated supporting documentation for demonstrated financial need. All Scholarship requests are strictly confidential. RSL-AZ West Valley cannot guarantee that all scholarship requests will be granted. No player will be granted a full scholarship, as it is necessary for all players to contribute toward their financial responsibilities associated with playing club soccer and granting full scholarships limits the number of players that can be assisted through the Scholarship Fund. Members of this board will also be asked to share information about other available scholarships that exist for athletes and make recommendations for players seeking assistance to external granting agencies as well.

I understand that if I am selected to serve as a board member, I will be agreeing to hold this position and serve in all of its capacities for the entirety of the 2024/2025 soccer season. I also understand that this is a non-compensable position and I will not receive pay for my time, services, or work completed in this role. I acknowledge that I will have to sign and comply with the RSL-AZ West Valley Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality Agreement and that any information I become privy to in my role as a member of a board shall not be discussed with anyone outside of the board and RSL-AZ West Valley’s leadership team.
