Pre hydration is much better than the water bottle during the game. Orange slices at half time are more about the sugar content than the water content. After game protein and hydration are important to repair.

Except the only levels where parents bring snacks for the team is younger rec, and none of those kids need “repair” after a 40 minute game where they’re constantly subbed in and out.

But snacks can't.

Show me a peer reviewed study that shows kids are a primary vector Covid spread.

Show me a peer review study that shows 7 year olds need orange slices after vigorously chasing butterflies intermittently on a soccer field for 40 minutes.

Orange slices have always been a ridiculous choice

Don't forget the sideline cartwheels and bottle flipping.

+1. I hate the snack train. It’s ridiculous. Can our kids not go 1 hour without shoveling food on their mouths? Water bottle only please

You must be in Alexandria. Tommy gets a cut of your orange slices than locks the post when you expose his theft.

Dried fruits are one of the best pre to mid game snacks you can have. High natural sugars. Don't get the ones with sugar added though.

Plus CDC says now that the likelihood of getting COVID from the surface of anything is nil. Just came out. What a joke.

You take off your mask to eat. That is the risk. Not the snack.

Do as you must but your naivety is a big reason this virus remains rampant.

My kids are in travel sports and do plenty if other activities, but you as a parent should learn when to say no.

Luckily when we started travel, all of the shared snacks went away.

Ummmmmm if they were having lunch gatherings, they weren’t getting covid from the food. Do people really still think you can get covid from food?!?

You can't get COVID from eating food. We don't know if you can get it from surfaces, which is why it's a good idea to remain somewhat vigilant.

Idiocy like stating, "XYZ is impossible" when it comes to a disease that's barely a year old is why we are still so deep in this mess.

Rubbish. There's only one reason we're in this mess - and that is our overlords forcing people to obey completely arbitrary and nonsensical rules without any evidence that the rules accomplish anything. If the media and government had not behaved with such hysteria, none of us would even know there was a pandemic.
