People are more willing to help out if they are given some direction. In addition to this, I'd bring a treat just in case.<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />ThanitaLittleMeTGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199727772794129311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791147721832190914.post-18070348137279648872010-05-23T22:56:25.938-05:002010-05-23T22:56:25.938-05:00It would be nice if a letter was sent and said tha...It would be nice if a letter was sent and said that snacks should be fruit or something.<br /><br />We haven't started the T-Ball team so I don't know when the snack is served. I would assume after the game.

I always have different things packed to have something similar. My daughter just started T-Ball recently and there are no snacks. The kids bring a drink and that's it. the whole game is about 1 hour give or take a few minutes.<br /><br />Even when she played soccer in the fall, no snacks, kids just brang a drink. On the first day, I told the coach about her allergies, he said don't worry, I will not be feeding them. <br /><br />Just curious when do they have the snack? Because at our games, there's no food on the field.<br /><br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791147721832190914.post-12464232570562727162010-05-23T09:36:08.934-05:002010-05-23T09:36:08.934-05:00I would also do A but bring his allergies to the c...I would also do A but bring his allergies to the coaches attention too. Around here if any student as allergies the teacher, coach, etc. will send out a letter asking for certain kinds of snacks to be avoided. They always leave specific names off it so no one is pointed directly at. I know that were we live healthy snacks are required; only on birthdays can cupcakes or sweet be given. We are always asked to bring fruit, meat/cheese, granola, etc. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791147721832190914.post-24049902676673864582010-05-22T12:33:36.455-05:002010-05-22T12:33:36.455-05:00We are currently experiencing this with soccer.

I told the coach about Beau's severe peanut allergy and he called the parents that volunteered to bring snacks to bring something peanut-free but he did not mention us specifically. So far the snacks have been granola bars, yogurt and string cheese. A juice box alone is a treat for Beau so it has not been an issue but I do bring pretzels or raisins if he asks. At the last game he was so tuckered out he didn't care about a snack or drink and just wanted to go home ;o)Tara K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791147721832190914.post-90007763064611384412010-05-22T12:32:34.067-05:002010-05-22T12:32:34.067-05:00I agree, I would let everyone know about the food ...I agree, I would let everyone know about the food allergies. Most parents would not want to cause an allergic reaction or a life threatening incident. Maybe its because I am a teacher, I just always think to ask because of the number of students I have had with food allergies. Good luck and have fun with T-Ball. I can't believe our kids are old enough for sports already :)Elizabeth E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791147721832190914.post-31533065970341037532010-05-22T12:32:34.068-05:002010-05-22T12:32:34.068-05:00i would actually do both! if your son is around th...i would actually do both! if your son is around these parents on a regular basis, they should be aware that he has allergies. not just for bringing a snack but what if he has a reaction to something and say for some crazy reason you are not there! i make sure everyone my son is around knows of his allergies. <br />good luckElizabeth Bnoreply@blogger.com
