The Junior Grassroots Hub is a community for youth grassroots football.⚽️
Connecting clubs, coaches, parents & volunteers through partnerships 🙌

🎧 Is Silent Support the Best Way to Encourage Junior Players?

We’ve all seen it — parents shouting instructions or getting too vocal on the sidelines. It’s well-intentioned, but it can pile pressure on kids, knock their confidence, and take away the fun.

That’s why the FA’s Silent Support Weekends are gaining traction. Parents and spectators stay quiet during matches (apart from clapping good play), giving players space to think, communicate, and learn without constant noise.

The FA says it helps kids develop teamwork, independence, and decision-making — and early feedback from players has been positive:

🗣️ “It was good to make our own decisions.” – U12s
🗣️ “I play better when nobody shouts.” – U9s

Of course, not everyone agrees. Some kids thrive on encouragement from the sidelines — a cheer from mum or dad can mean the world. But there’s a fine line between support and sideline coaching.

So what do you think?

👉 Is silence golden… or do kids still need to hear that encouragement?

Every grassroots team seems to follow the same rules 😅

What unwritten rule did your team always follow?

Just a heads up to all parents…

Before you moan at a grassroots coach, stop and think:
These are volunteers giving their time for FREE.

📱 Late-night texts about subs or game time.
📞 Abusive phone calls.
🙄 Constant negativity.

It’s driving good coaches away and without them, there’s no training, no matches, no football.

👉 If you have an issue, deal with it properly: speak in private, and with respect.

Because without respect, the game collapses.

Grassroots football isn’t the Premier League.

It’s better.

It’s parents giving up Sundays.
Coaches giving up evenings.
Kids building confidence, friendships and resilience.

This is where football really lives. 💚⚽

"It was brilliant to partner with Junior Grassroots. The initial boost it gave us really helped us grow our sales for custom cards and other merchandise in the early days. From the email campaign alone we were able to generate in excess of 30 new customers, which we wouldn't have got otherwise. Worth every penny!"
