Snacks for the Whole Sports Team
One of the most challenging parts about organized sports is snack time. While we all want our kids to eat nutritious foods, especially after a tough game, we have to balance that with what the kids o the team will actually eat.
It’s a difficult challenge, which is why I pulled together this list of ideas with a balance between healthy snacks, homemade and some kid-favorite snacks you can get at the store. Because most important of all, is that they’re refueling after their game.

Team Drinks for After Sports
Keeping everyone hydrated is a must! Here are a few ideas for different drinks you can bring for the team depending on age, budget and preferences.
One of the best things you can do is to make a little snack pack with brown paper bags. Include a small Gatorade, a fruit, and a treat or two like chips or fruit roll-ups. That way, there’s something for everyone, no matter what their preference.
