On a recent weekend, AYSO commemorated “Silent Saturday.” The spirit of Silent Saturday is to allow the players to go out and play soccer without instructions being yelled at them by parents and coaches. AYSO 154 Regional Commissioner Christen Jackson says, “It was amazing to be able to watch and hear the kids play on their own, making their own decisions and really showing what they know. The kids love it and have a ton of fun. We encouraged parents and coaches to make signs and poster to encourage the players.”
