We, the parents and students of the Loyalsock boys soccer team, fully support Coach Ian Scheller and urge him to stay on in his role as our soccer coach. The team has enjoyed unprecedented success these past two seasons due to the exceptional leadership of Coach Scheller and the hard work that the students put in because of his leadership and their respect for him.

The harassment and bullying that Coach has been subjected to by a very small minority of parents is not representative of the majority and contradicts the spirit of the sport. We reject this behavior and will fully support the administration’s policies going forward to address and eradicate behavior that undermines the efforts of both the coach and the students.
