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.

I understand accommodating allergies, but not preferences.

So you wouldn’t accommodate a vegetarian? Sounds like you’re an AH.

They can pick the meat off or pack their own meal. Not that hard.

Our games are closer to the end of the school day, so we do something lighter and quicker, like a sandwich tray. If they are traveling for an away game, it's typically a sandwich + fruit, chips, and cookies. On the rare occasion when there's a game that is at 6:30 or 7pm, we do a team dinner at school, and that's usually some sort of pasta (penne with meatballs, etc.) + salad and bread.

Sure hope nobody on the team is kosher.

No one who keeps kosher is going to eat a team dinner, unless it's at an orthodox Jewish school.

Do you have to feed those fat kuds

Our baseball team makes the team meal optional, but I'm pretty sure almost everyone participates since it's easy. We pay a local catering company and it seems to work out to about $125 for 14 or 15 meals. They stay after school, eat immediately, and then either hop on a bus for away games or get to the fields for warm ups, etc. And yes, it's a very long day and as a parent who has over an hour commute, I appreciate that I don't have to figure out how to feed my kid or take off work to pick it up/serve to the team.

Costco sandwich platters and a bunch of chips and cut up fruit.

Kids with special food needs should bring their own or their parents can provide a kosher/halal version for everyone. There’s too many food allergies and special food conditions to take literally every possibility into account.

Is Chick Fil A kosher? Halal? Is Little Caesars or District Taco?

Food preferences may require BYOD.

Sorry for the dumb question (my kids are little). Why are you feeding the entire team before games?

Because they will be at school from 8am until 10pm after the game. They have to have dinner so one family feeds the coaches and whole team once per season.

Baseball is 3-10? Ok I guess I get it.

Ask the coach. I have no idea. It's just the way it is. How are they keeping food cold or hot all day at school? Should they bring a cooler?

Parents pick up the food and bring it to school before the game, not at the beginning of the day.
