Practice Food/Drink

Practice Food/Drink

Practice food/drink can be provided at various times for teams to ensure that athletes have access to healthy snacks/drinks and hydration prior to and/or after long practices, practices that being right after school or for special occasions.

Providing practice food may make sense for some teams and not for others. As with all these items, consulting last year’s captain parents, coaches and captains will be the best place to start to determine what might be the best practices for your particular sport. There may be some traditions and histories that are good guidelines, but not everything has to stay the same. Generally, make sure food and drink fit healthy guidelines for all athletes.

*Please note- Be sure to check with athletes to see if there are any allergies or dietary restrictions they follow.
