?? SILENT SUPPORT WEEKEND | 14–15 NOVEMBER ??

March Academy FC is proud to support Silent Support Weekend, and we're inviting EVERYONE across our football family to get involved!

This weekend, we're asking all spectators, parents, families and supporters to give our young players the space to play their game, find their voice and enjoy their football without pressure from the sidelines.

⚽ WHY SILENT SUPPORT?

Everything said on the sidelines can be heard by players on the pitch. Conflicting instructions, advice and shouting can be confusing, distracting and sometimes take away from the enjoyment of the game.

By keeping quiet, we give our players the opportunity to:
? Communicate with each other.
? Make their own decisions.
? Develop confidence and independence.
? Take responsibility and lead their own game.
? Most importantly, enjoy playing football!

? THE SILENT SUPPORT RULES

✅ Applaud good play, effort and sportsmanship.
? No shouting, instructions, advice or comments from spectators.
⚽ Coaches can still provide quiet instruction, while encouraging players to think, communicate and make their own decisions.

This isn't about taking the enjoyment out of football or stopping people from supporting their teams. It's about supporting our young players in a different way.

Sometimes the best support we can give is simply to let them play!

Let's come together as one club, embrace the silence and show our young players that we trust them.

DOWN GOES YOUR NOISE, UP GOES THEIR GAME! ??
