BOZEMAN — Celebrating a kid's goal sounded a lot different on Saturday for many parents from across the state who were in Bozeman for a friendly soccer tournament. Montana Surf implemented what they call a ‘Silent Saturday' at their games. In a letter sent to parents, the aim of the event was to keep parents and coaches quieter during the games to reduce pressure on athletes. The letter also went on to say that they hoped to remove referee and coach abuse. Parents were told they couldn't talk or yell on the sidelines, and Montana Surf asked them to not cheer until the game was over.
