If they are actually sweating from a 60 mins of up-tempo soccer, post-game salt intake could be very appropriate for older kids. |
OP, I usually do capri sun or Gatorade (whatever is on sale that week), some sort of fruit bar/chew and a salty snack. My kids are on 7 different teams so we frequently have to sign up for snacks. Recently the K/1st like pirates booty and goldfish a lot, sometimes popcorners, Trader Joe’s fruit buttons. Kids 2nd-6th seem to prefer bags of plain popcorn, granola bars or fruit snacks. Sometimes people do bring homemade cookies or something and while many kids love it the allergy kids have to be careful and skip it since it’s not packaged. Please keep that in mind if you have celiac or nut allergy kids on the team. |
My kid's 1 hour preschool soccer league is over the top with snacks. There are THREE signups for each week- one for juice, one for a shelf stable snack, one for fruit. None of them want whatever fruit is available when there are juice boxes and cookies/chips. |
Pizza and wings |
These threads are like the what should a do as a party favor threads. There is no right answer. Pay attention to what happens for your team and base the decision on that. If everyone brings fruit...bring fruit. If everyone brings donuts...bring donuts. |
Popsicles. For DS's soccer team that's the snack every week. I like it, no need to be creative, figure out what to bring. Just buy the popsicles when it's my turn |
+1 Just follow the crowd so your kid is not the odd one out, and no need to put much thought into this. If you are the first one on the list - something like individual package of chips/crackers & Gatorade or juice box is a relatively safe choice. I’d be the first vote to get rid of snacks altogether but is easier to just go with the flow. |
Right. Dead ringer. Goldfish! Cringe. Lol! ON our signup genius, it has a list of what we and buy as snacks for which games. So.... I DO like the idea of a cool watermelon cut into slices after a game though. My daughter's fav snacks are baby bel cheese, mandarin oranges and goldfish. |
In elementary school? |
I go to Division I football games in person.
The Division I football players get orange wedges, gatoraide and water. |
If that is what your child does on the field then maybe you should pull them from organized sports and let them play in a meadow instead. |
People bring the small cucumbers to games and the kids love them. I thought it was odd at first but there are never leftovers, the kids are into them. |
Ice cream sundae bar |
We just did mandarins, capri suns, fruit leathers and veggie sticks. My personal children usually don’t eat much immediately following their games but some do. This is a pretty typical list for their teams. |
Perhaps you should pull yours and put them in Olympic training since they’re such athletes. We’re talking about 5 and 6;year olds you moron. Yes they play in the dirt sometimes. |
