Knebworth Football Club is participating in The FA’s Silent Support Weekend by encouraging our coaches and supporters to let the football do the talking.
We want our members to play with more freedom, and our young referees to develop, in a safe and calm environment.
We’re encouraging spectators and coaches to show their support during the match through applause only.
This will reduce pressure and confusion and give players a better opportunity to find their own voice and develop their game.
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 both teams
What are the benefits of the Silent Weekend?
• Players can concentrate on the game and not be distracted from the touchline
• Players develop independent learning and decision-making
• Coaches can assess the teams’ communication skills
Join us on the 5 & 6 November 2022 and find out what happens when we turn the volume down for the players on the pitch.
