Wargrave Wolves are proud to be supporting the new, landmark, National Silent Support Weekend over 15-16 March 2025 as we encourage all spectators and coaches to show their support during the match through applause only.
The Football Association is aiming to reduce pressure on youth players at the grassroots level and give all young players a better opportunity and environment to find their voice, improve their on-pitch communications skills, develop their own game, and most importantly have fun.
Across the National Silent Support Weekend, The FA are we’re encouraging coaches and spectators to show their support by applauding good play from both teams but refraining from talking or shouting. This is to create an enjoyable, safe, and developmental experience for all youth players, so that they can play the game with freedom, without pressure, and without an over-emphasis on winning at all costs.
Wargrave Wolves are proud to support the initiative and will be asking all our coaches to coach through applause only during the match and sharing this request to parents and supporters, from both teams at all our matches this weekend.
Good look to everyone playing this weekend and more importantly we hope the ‘silence remains golden’ and the players can find their voices and enjoy their time on the pitch without any outside noise.
