A number of you have children in travel baseball, softball, soccer and hockey. Games are at all times of the day. You usually have one or two games in the morning followed by one or two at night. What we’ve done for away games is a training table lunch.
Usually, the breakfast room is available and we go to the local grocery store and purchase turkey, bread, fruit, salad, water and vegetables for the team and parents.
You save money by not going to a restaurant and we’ve found the team plays better for afternoon games because the kids aren’t bogged down with heavy food.
You might want to keep that in mind the weekend of June 18-19. That is the day of soccer tryouts and some kids will try out for multiple teams. You want to look your best because tryout day is usually hot and draining and nutrition is important.
