Silent Support 14th & 15th November
10 November 2026
Show Your Support Through Gentle Applause
Down Goes Your Noise, Up Goes Their Game
Help us make this Silent Support Weekend the biggest (and quietest) ever.
For one weekend from 14th-15th November, across all clubs and teams, spectators on the sidelines will keep comments, advice and even encouragement to themselves — other than applauding good play.
Coaches can talk to the players, but really it’s all about giving the players a chance to lead their own game, talk to each other, make decisions, play without pressure, and with more fun.
Our last event in March included over one million participants, and 97% of them felt behaviour improved, or stayed the same due to the silent support. It was also a great result for the clubs that took part, who reported an increase in good respect marks.
