Silent Weekend 5th & 6th November 2016
Youth & Mini Soccer fixtures taking place on 5th & 6th November will involve coaches and spectators remaining silent throughout games to raise awareness of the need to create a positive and pressure-free environment in which children can enjoy football and learn to love and develop in the game.
We hope with your support you will encourage all to take part and spread awareness of this fantastic initiative.
