Silent Support Weekend 2025
Silent Support Weekend is back on 15th and 16th March, 2025. Once again, we’re asking spectators to dial down the noise from the sidelines and dial up the positivity.
Let’s cut out the confusing and distracting shouting from the sidelines. Instead, let’s respect our players by helping them find their voices, make their own choices, and enjoy their game.
Feedback from previous years shows that children have welcomed the chance to play and express themselves without the fear of negative comments or parental input.
Silent Support at GFA County Cup finals
The Gloucestershire FA has once again signed up for Silent Support weekend, as have many of our youth leagues. That means that at our U14 and U16 Girls Cup finals, due to take place on Sunday 16th March, we're asking all spectators to let the players do the talking.
Silent Support is positive support
During Silent Support Weekend, spectators should applaud good play from both teams. Coaches are asked to offer quiet support and encouragement to their players. Everything else can have the weekend off.
