[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never heard of parents doing this for a high school team. Most kids either one – bring their own food two – grab something local before warm-up start or three – their parents bring them something.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

I understand accommodating allergies, but not preferences.[/quote]

So you wouldn’t accommodate a vegetarian? Sounds like you’re an AH.[/quote]

You're the J/A.  As a person who deals with a lot of middle management and team events. Once you start accommodating one person, you have to start making all kind of accommodations.  For crying out loud, this is a TEAM SPORT people! And as a parent volunteer, Get with the program: vegetarians -pick off the deli meat. Vegans: Pick off the cheese and Deli meat. Gluten free: eat the other kids cheese and deli meat. If these kids are on a strict diet, they need to come up with real world solutions. Otherwise, just deal with it.  It's nothing they haven't delt with before.   No need for virtue signaling here on an anonymous message board.

Just order the sandwich platter, chips, fruit cup and drinks.

IMHO once kids are HIGH SCHOOL age, they are very well prepared for this sort of thing. If they have dietary restrictions (or are just picky eaters) they know to bring a protein bar or sandwich to supplement, and eat whatever they are able to eat from the options offered. Is it really even that big of a deal if a kid eats chips and fruit plus a granola bar he had in his backpack? He can eat a real dinner after the game (IME as the mom of a HS baseball player- he will eat a second dinner after the game regardless 🤣). Sure, you can add a veggie sub into the mix if you want, but I wouldn’t go to extraordinary lengths planning wise.

Also, the son likely already knows if any of his teammates are vegetarian or whatever. Ask him. [/quote]
