‘It’s My Game’ Silent Sideline Weekend
Following the successful launch of our DDSL ‘IT’S MY GAME’ campaign & SILENT SIDELINE campaign last season, it is important for the DDSL and its clubs to continue to support and act where possible.
Therefore, we intend to hold a ‘SILENT SIDELINE CAMPAIGN’ once a month until the end of the year to try to stem the continued ‘BAD BEHAVIOR’ from those on the sidelines. It is having a detrimental effect on the players looking to play & enjoy their football.
Given the escalation of ‘Behavioural & Respect Issues’ particularly from the sidelines from both Coaches/Parents etc, we are holding a ‘SILENT FOR ALL WEEKEND’ on Friday/Saturday/Sunday 26th/27th/28th September. We are requesting all clubs support this initiative using their clubs BDO’s to start the culture change required to create the right environment for children in the game.
For the weekend of the 26th, we want to see ‘IT’S MY GAME’ initiative in action on the sidelines at every match within our League. For this to happen, we need you to help implement in some helpful ways of creating a positive environment on the sidelines to ensure the following happens!
