[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it I’m guessing your DD doesn’t get a lot of playing time or else you’d probably feel different about being a contributing part of the team. Dinners before games are a longstanding tradition in many (not all) Varsity sports. Sharing a meal together promotes team building, unity, and family, but you are more than welcome to tell the Coaches and Team Parents that you cannot/will not pay and prefer to pack your DD a lunch/dinner/snacks for game days. That said, I’m pretty sure the other parents who have paid will have no problem sharing with your daughter too— it’s what teammates do.

It seems like you are pretty passionate about this, so maybe you should ask to be a third team parent so you can help organize healthy meals and coordinate all the voting you suggested. With all of your energy, I hope you have also signed up to volunteer in other capacities like concessions, banquet planning and fundraisers. FWIW, many coaches personally ask parents who have shown a concerted interest in their child’s sport and team to serve as team parents. You are lucky that you have two parents who care about your daughter’s team.[/quote]
