[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is on a MLSNext team and there are parents who watch practices. I don’t watch except occasionally when I get back early. But if I had time and weren’t busy working some more or running errands during practices, I would watch more. The parents are chill and don’t audibly say stuff to their kids.  But mostly I enjoy watching my kid and his team play because they’re so good and focused and can’t we just appreciate that?[/quote]

I mostly stay through all of my kid's practice. We are a soccer family and I have 3-5 that all play depending on when asked over the past 5 years. We drive 40 min to a bit over an hour depending on what field they are training on. I work inside all day and enjoy being outside in the evenings no matter the weather (rather than sitting in my car). My kids also seem to enjoy me being around (even my older ones) and notice when I am not. I don't engage with them at all nor do any of the other parents that are there. I see some of the same parents there, we talk and I have become friends with many of them. Truth be told, I enjoy it. [/quote]

So instead of their focus being 100% on the coach, team and being dialled in on what they should be doing, they're checking the sidelines for you
