Varsity Pre-game Meals

Varsity parents are asked to sign up to prepare a meal this season. We can do "cooler-meals" for AWAY games and traditional HOT MEALS set up either in the HS commons or at your house for HOME games. This is a great way for our athletes to get a healthy meal without the added hassle of packing extra lunches from home.

Cooler Meal supplies can be delivered by parent or student to the HS Commons area by 3:00 p.m. on days of AWAY games.

HOME game meals must allow for athletes to arrive in the HS gym by 4:45pm for duties during the JV and B-Squad matches. THANK YOU PARENTS FOR YOUR IMPORTANT ROLE IN HELPING OUR PLAYERS BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE! THEY LOVE THIS TRADITION!!!
