Player Safety
At South Hills Soccer Association (SHSA), the safety and well-being of every player, coach, referee, volunteer, and family member is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a positive, respectful, and safe environment where every child can learn, develop, and enjoy the game of soccer.
SHSA supports the player safety initiatives established by the United States Soccer Federation (U.S. Soccer), U.S. Center for SafeSport, West Virginia Soccer Association (WVSA), and U.S. Youth Soccer.
South Hills Soccer Association believes every child deserves the opportunity to play soccer in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment. Together, with our players, parents, coaches, referees, and volunteers, we are committed to fostering a culture of respect, integrity, and sportsmanship both on and off the field.
