EMPLOYMENT/VOLUNTEER=20 DISCLOSURE POLICY:

PTCYSA reserves the right to require a completed = signed=20 disclosure form from any individual wishing to participate in any = capacity=20 within our program. = Failure to=20 provide PTCYSA with such a disclosure could, at the discretion of the = PTCYSA=20 BOD, prevent that individual from being allowed to hold any position = (voluntary,=20 paid, registered, or unregistered) within our program.

Specifically, the following individuals will be = required to=20 provide PTCYSA/GYSA a signed, completed disclosure form in order to be=20 considered for any position (voluntary or paid) with PTCYSA:

Coaches, Assistant coaches, league administrators, = officials,=20 elected officers, trainers, and other volunteers who deal directly with = the=20 youth.

Effective January 1, 2000 PTCYSA will conduct a = criminal=20 background check, as well as cross referencing the Registered Sexual = Offendors=20 List on any or all of those individuals providing such profiles. While it is the intent of the = policy to=20 have all disclosures formally verified, the priority will be given to = those=20 positions that require the most direct interaction with the = players.
