The last Silent Support Weekend in March had over one million players taking part, with 97% feeling behaviour improved, or stayed the same. So on 14th and 15th November, we’re doing it all over again

Keep it positive. Enjoy the game!

This season, Silent Support Weekend is all about positive support. Quiet encouragement and applause for good play are welcome. But everything else can have the weekend off. During Silent Support Weekend, let’s all respect our players by giving them a space where they can all enjoy the game

For players…

They’ll be doing all the talking. This is an opportunity for them to find their voice and explore their game, without any distractions.

For coaches…

When the game is in play, coaches can either join in the silent support, or talk to the players

For parents/spectators…

We’re asking anyone on the sidelines to show your support with applause or cheering only (no coaching instructions).

We hope your club and teams will join us in supporting this initiative and remember that in the end it is about everyone, players in particular, having fun and developing.
