Silent Support Weekend 2025
SILENT SUPPORT WEEKEND 15-16 MARCH
Silent Support Weekend is back. 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.
Silent Support is positive support
During Silent Support Weekend, applause from spectators for good play – and quiet encouragement from coaches – is welcome. Everything else can have the weekend off.
