Welcome Supporters!
If you’re here, it’s because you, like us, love the Switchbacks community! Here you will find everything you need to know about what it means to be a supporter of the Switchbacks FC. Like:
Fan Code of Conduct:
Supporters’ Section:
Sections 127 & 130 are our official supporters’ sections! Here are some things you should know about those seats for game day:
1. They get LOUD:
– Our supporters are the heart of our franchise, and when things go our way, they get loud. When things don’t go our way, they may get louder! Be prepared for feet stomping, chanting, hollering and some passionate celebrations!
2. This is a standing only section:
– While there are no seats in this section, don’t let this deter you! You’ll be so busy yelling along with our Switchbacks anthem, you’ll forget there’s not even a seat there.
3. This area may not be suitable for young children:
– Switchbacks FC soccer matches should be a safe place for everyone, and anyone who acts in a manner that violates our fan code of conduct will be removed. With that said, our Supporters’ sections will be lively, loud, and dramatic. When we score, chaos will break out in the form of smoke bombs, vigorous flag waving, and lots of yelling.
Our supporters are at the heart of our game day experience, and we want the entire Switchbacks family to feel like a supporter. With that said, it’s probably best for our youngest fans to appreciate them from a different section.
