This weekend, support your children playing football by staying silent on the sidelines ๐คซ Let their skills do the talking โฝ
We are taking part in the FA's National Silent Support Weekend with the aim to promote good behaviour on touchlines across grassroots youth football.
The aim of the National Silent Support Weekend is to reduce pressure on youth players at grassroots level and give them a better opportunity and environment to find their own voice, improve their on-pitch communications skills, develop their own game, and most importantly have fun
During Silent Support Weekend, applause from spectators for good play โ and quiet encouragement from coaches โ is welcome. Spectators are being encouraged to refrain from talking or shouting, with coaches supporting the players as they need to. This is to create an enjoyable, safe and developmental experience for all youth players, so that they can play the game with freedom, without pressure, and without an over-emphasis on winning at all costs.
