Read the following article and answer the question.

So Saturday morning was the first practice instead , at least for Owen 's football team . I have no idea if the cheerleaders had a practice scheduled because Beth gets those emails and she was n't checking her messages . So Nicole had to tag along and she sat on the sidelines for a couple of hours and watched the practice and played . She was actually very well behaved , especially considering how hot and humid it was out there .

Why did Nicole not have anything to do ?
Her practice was not taking place .
