AT BFA WE OPERATE A SILENT SIDELINES CODE ON OUR MATCH DAYS_ THIS MEANS THAT PARENTS ARE ASKED TO ONLY PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT FOR THE CHILDREN AND NOT TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WHILST THEY ARE PLAYING. PLEASE LEAVE THIS TO THE COACHES AS TOO MANY VOICES CAN CONFUSE THE CHILDREN. AT POINTS DURING THE GAMES THE COACHES MAY GIVE PLAYERS SPECIFIC CHALLENGES: COMMENTS FROM PARENTS RELATED TO TACTICS. POSRIONING, WHEN TO PASS ETC MAY CONTRADICT WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE PLAYERS AND ADD EXTRA PRESSURE THAT IS NOT NEEDED DURING WHAT WILL BE A FRIENDLY COMPETITION. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT.
