Down goes your noise, up goes their game!
Silent Support Weekend is here to help young players to find their voice on the pitch, make their own decisions and enjoy their game…with no distracting noise from spectators on the sidelines.
Silent Support is positive support
During Silent Support Weekend, applause from spectators for good play – and quiet encouragement from coaches – is welcome. Everything else can have the weekend off.

The national Silent Support Weekend takes place 15-16 March. This is when youth teams up and down the country will be joining in. Your club can also run Silent Support games any other time of the season too. Check the resources below to find out how.
