[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the concessions hate, at least for B meets. In our league/division kids and volunteers need to be there by 5, and the meets usually run past 8 when they start at 6. Dinner concessions are a necessity, not “bloat.”[/quote]

I can only speak for myself. My kids play another sport with concessions and one wanted to join swim team next year so o was reading all of this. I didn’t want to work fast food jobs in HS and I certainly don’t want to know. Concessions sell junk and that’s fine, but they don’t need it every single game and I don’t want to volunteer my time to keep it going. It’s not hard to get food around here, especially with uber eats.  I pay the volunteer fee to get out of it and then tell them I didn’t bring cash when they want the candy, chips and sugary drinks all through every game.  [/quote]

B Meet warmups typically start around 5:00 and can run until 9pm. The length, timing, and the fact there are typically 100+ athletes plus family members makes the availability of food helpful. Most pools offer chick fil a, pizza, or grilled food, in addition to the typical candy and junk food.

Swim teams don’t want parents paying the opt out fee- they need volunteers.[/quote]

I have never, ever attended a B meet that ended at 9:00. They always run later than that! NVSL D3 pool. [/quote]
