Swimmers need to carb up the night before a meet. Families rotate hosting a pasta dinner to fuel up, promote team bonding, and share some laughs. Feel free to team up with another family for additional fun! 

Start time (around 6 pm). Keep in mind, swimmers and divers tend to have homework and other things to do so they may not stay long.

Sample dinner: 4-5 lbs. of pasta, 3 large jars (67 oz.) sauce, 4 large bags meatballs, 5 garlic breads, veggie tray or salad, cookies, 1-2 gallons of chocolate milk (include (Fairlife) dairy free option) and a couple half gallons of juice (Dole blends are a favorite).

The boys are hungry after a weekday meet, and then they need to ride the bus before they go home for dinner. To hold them over, parents have graciously provided healthy snacks (bagels, fruit, chocolate milk). Each Trojan will eat a bagel and cream cheese. It would be great to also have bananas, clementines, yogurt squeeze tubes, or applesauce squeezes. Individual chocolate milk has also been great. 

What kind of bagels have been provided in the past? 

~24 bagels (plain, blueberry, cinnamon-sugar, asiago) with plain cream cheese.
