[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have coached teams since DD was 5.

Snacks ended when DD was 11.  At that age, the girls were old enough to bond without food.

Before that, snack were usually things like chips, cookies, and a juice.

As a coach, I never brought the snacks; when the teams were established, I found a parent (always a mom) to handle the non-sports organizational aspects of the team (snacks, parties, etc; I also liked to have someone responsible for bringing extra water, and ice.

Fortunately, there was always a control freak that wanted the artificial authority.

Though, one year, she also organized booze for the parents.[/quote]

You think kids 10 and under need food to bond as a team? I think they just need a fun interactive coach. [/quote]

true, but they like the snacks.

FWIW, when I was coaching, I had some rewards:  If we turned a double play, I bought Ice Cream for the team.  For the younger girls, I had also a caught fly ball Ice Cream.
