I explained to the rude mom in the situation above the coach wanted the snacks. She can take it up with him if she doesn't like it. I bring healthy snacks - bananas, watermelon, Cliff bars, string cheese. If the coach, the guy who is donating his time freely to coach her kid, wants a snack available, it's going to be available. She can parent her kid any way she wants.  My kid will eat. Food will be available for others to eat. [/quote]

I think it's great that you are trying to support the coach, but don't you think it's more than a little strange that you are now providing snacks to the whole team every week whether they want it or not?  Are you new to this?  It can be hard to figure out where to draw lines when your first child starts with sports, but this is really not a normal situation.  The onus is on the parents to ensure that their kids are following the coach's guidelines if they agree with him, or to blow his directives off if not.  The coach can take it up with them if he feels that 100% compliance is needed.
