Silent soccer is a way to let players demonstrate their team work and abilities without input from an adult. Players will learn to trust their skills and instincts, and build confidence as a team, without concern that their mistakes will be corrected from the sidelines.

COACHES: use the next few weeks’ practices to prepare players and parents!
ON GAME DAY: Be creative in your support for both teams (signs, flags, poms poms) on the day

Cheer on good passes, saves, goals …by both teams!

No calling out instructions during the game!
Coaches provide coaching points at the start of the game, during substitutions, at halftime and after the game.

U8-U6 Coaches ONLY may verbally coach, however, please use restraint and coach moderately
(parents must observe the rule of silence)
