Down goes your noise, up goes their game!
Silent Support Weekend is a national initiative to help young players find their voice on the pitch, make their own decisions and enjoy their game…with no distracting noise from spectators on the sidelines.
We currently have Silent Support Weekends scheduled for:
15 and 16 November 2025
14 and 15 March 2026
Get ready for Silent Support on 15 and 16 November 2025
Respect your young players and help them find their voice on the pitch.
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.
