[quote=Anonymous]Watching little kids learning to play a sport is a total crack-up. Very cute and entertaining and the kids are soooo excited afterwards. Lots of fun.

Watching upper elementary to middle school kids playing can be very meh. They aren't terribly good for the most part and things can be tedious.

Watching high school students on a varsity team play - good, interesting games. Lot's of excitement and cheering. Yay team!

The sport and the venue matter a lot. Soccer on a beautiful spring or fall day - it is just nice to be outside relaxing and enjoying company. On a rainy day or a too hot and humid day? Ugh. Swim meet in the summer at the pool? Enjoy the weather and chatting with neighbors, timing for the meet, and seeing your kid hang out with friends. Spending 6 hours at an indoor swim center on crappy bleachers so you can see your kid swim for 2 minutes? Double ugh. Part of the enjoyment that comes with watching your kids' games is hanging out with the community of parents who are also involved and making seasonal friends. People stick with kids sports as long as they are enjoying it as a family. When it stops being fun, most sensible people stop.[/quote]
