At what age is it creepy to watch your kid’s sports practice?

Around 12 or so? Not one parent watches Jr High practice, and same for U14 club sports...so it’s before that.

Ended quickly. Tons of parents were watching from the beginning to 11.

Our local HS has bleachers set up at the football practice field for spectators.

No one does, that’s why I said it ended quickly.

I got tired of watching soccer practice a couple of years ago, but for football I’d like to watch.

There’s nothing creepy about it at all. I go watch kids practice all the time and I don’t even have children

Nothing wrong with it....as long as they are just watching.

I've stayed at my kids practice but it was mostly to just hang with the other dads and drink a few beers...but just staying to watch is weird unless you're a helicopter parent

Yes, about 12 is when most people stop watching practice.

Would it be strange if a trainer my son works with watches from the bleachers?

Watching isn't what makes it creepy. Watching your kids makes you a good parent.

Staring at your daughter's U-12 softball practice like this is creepy.

I go to BWW for the hour and a half club soccer practice, that’s been nice.
