Snack Ideas for Baseball Team
We need to provide the snack for my son's baseball team after a game next week. It will be 8:30 PM or a little after. I'm not sure what would be a good snack that late. It needs to be something that isn't messy and is easy to pass out. So, I have two questions: Are there snacks that you wouldn't want your kids to eat that late? Do you have any good suggestions?
Thanks!

I'd try to go low on sugar! I'd bring baggies of animal crackers, goldfish, cheeze its, popcorn, or chex mix, ect...; baggies of apple slices, orange slices, or grapes. I love when it's something my son can eat in the car on the way home!

When we were doing snacks for my son's team I just went with whatever was given. We did stuff like the individual packages of cheese it's, oreos, cookies, cereal bars, rice krispie bars. We also did a drink - typically a Capri Sun or something similar. We did stay away from peanut butter items because of allergies. Our team usually didn't do fruit as we looked at these as a treat for the kids. But if your team will eat the fruit - great idea.

I always package the snacks into brown paper sacks for ease of passing out the snacks and making sure everything is even. Not every kid may be happy if they're picky, but some good choices are (all individually pre-packaged) slim jim's, pringles, peanut butter or cheese crackers, fruit snacks, rice krispie treats, granola bars, etc. I always put a juice pouch or small Gatorade in, too. My son loves to help and chooses two of the mentioned snacks to go in the bag with the drink. I'm not fond of my son getting candy in the snack bag. Protein is better after a game. Hope that helps :)

I'm one of those parents who is absolutely FINE with anything anyone else chooses to bring. From cupcakes to carrots. Capris Sun or Kool-aid to milk or water.
My feeling is that if I want my son to eat something else, I'll bring something else.
When it's my turn to bring I bring sliced oranges (too many years as a soccer mom not to bring the sliced oranges) and something my son picks out (chocolate frosted sugar bombs aren't out of the realm of possibility), and a box of capris suns or gatorade.

we do summer baseball. when the games over, everybody grabs a caprisun and a snack size of something and splits. its hot, people are tired of being there, and want to get into the air conditioned cars. parents dont want to take messy food in thier cars. it needs to be individually packaged and snack size. some things that work are
if you have a cooler - string cheese, or gogurt
if not - granola bar, fruit and ceral bar, goldfish, pretzels, gummy fruit snacks, 100 calorie packs of cookies
of course, caprisuns

I'd do watermelon - bring it sliced.
Popcorn is always a huge hit with kids. Make it ahead of time and put it in paper bags - one for each child. Make sure you have a few extra for siblings and such.
Those are easy and kids love 'em.
