For our school, we have to feed team, coaches and managers and deal with food allergies. That said, they need to eat and it’s a long night for all when they get back late from an away game. |

| Costco sandwich platters and a bunch of chips and cut up fruit. |
| Our baseball team makes the team meal optional, but I'm pretty sure almost everyone participates since it's easy. We pay a local catering company and it seems to work out to about $125 for 14 or 15 meals. They stay after school, eat immediately, and then either hop on a bus for away games or get to the fields for warm ups, etc. And yes, it's a very long day and as a parent who has over an hour commute, I appreciate that I don't have to figure out how to feed my kid or take off work to pick it up/serve to the team. |
I understand accommodating allergies, but not preferences. |
| Do you have to feed those fat kuds |
No one who keeps kosher is going to eat a team dinner, unless it's at an orthodox Jewish school. |
So you wouldn’t accommodate a vegetarian? Sounds like you’re an AH. |
| Our games are closer to the end of the school day, so we do something lighter and quicker, like a sandwich tray. If they are traveling for an away game, it's typically a sandwich + fruit, chips, and cookies. On the rare occasion when there's a game that is at 6:30 or 7pm, we do a team dinner at school, and that's usually some sort of pasta (penne with meatballs, etc.) + salad and bread. |
They can pick the meat off or pack their own meal. Not that hard. |
Finding a veggie option (cheese pizza, veggie sub) is MUCH less of a hassle than going kosher or halal. And you know this. |
| I’d love to know how old these kids are. |
This is probably for HS. My son's team does this. Kids often don't have time to go home after school so they change and head to the field. They warm up, eat, and then head to the team bus for an away game. Games start at 6:30 but they get there an hour early to have hitting/fielding practice. Games can last as long as 2-3 hours so they might not get home until 10. Then they shower and eat another dinner. They have 2-3 games a week. It's a lot! |
| We've done sandwiche trays (Jimmy John's, Wegmans, Potbellys), taco bars, and pulled pork or pulled chicken (made in crockpot). |

I’ve seen lots of sub sandwiches. The families even send a simple sign up - him, turkey, or cheese.
