[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T-ball coach here. We do it after games. As does every other team we play against.

It's sort of silly but what's the big deal?So once a season you have to lay out 20 bucks? Cry me a river. Are you seriously that cheap? It's kind of a fun decompression time for the kids, parents can chat, coaches can talk about schedule issues or whatever. And it takes 5-10 minutes. [/quote]

It's. Not. About. The. Money.[/quote]

NP here Your kid doesn't eat at all between lunch and dinner? If you know they'll get a snack after the game why not have that be their snack for the day? Your kid won't be ruined by having a handful of goldfish once a week. [/quote]

My kids eat plenty of goldfish. You are being willfully obtuse.

I sign my kids up for team sports to get fresh air and exercise. It sends the wrong message that every time you exercise you need to be rewarded with crappy junk food. Because that's what it is-- either sweets or processed junk.  I don't think it will "ruin" my kids. That's beside the point. WHY are we sending this mixed message?  My child is 5. He doesn't need juice, cheezits, and a popsicle (which was the last snack) after 45 minutes of t-ball, half of which is standing in the outfield picking grass. If he needs something to eat after a practice I can provide it for him, FFS.
