SYL Statement

FA Silent Weekend
Please play your part in a weekend of football that’ll leave you speechless. We’re promoting a National Silent Support Weekend where leagues and clubs across the country are asking all spectators and coaches to show their support through applause only when the match is in play. This gives players a better opportunity to find their own voice and develop their game. Not sure? Let’s have a go, then tell us what you thought about it. And ask your parents and coaches to tell us too. There will be a short survey, via a digital link shared after the weekend so we can all understand the impact and make improvements for the future.
What to do at the Silent Weekend?
• Allow players to make mistakes
• Allow players to make their own decisions
• Applaud good play and effort from either team
What are the benefits of the Silent Weekend?
• Players can concentrate on the game and not be distracted by the touchline
• Players develop independent learning and decision-making
• Coaches can assess the teams’ communication skills
Join us on the 5th & 6th November 2022 and find out what happens when we turn the volume down for the players on the pitch.
