Team snack schedule
Every youth team has a snack parent, and every snack parent has sent the same message in the group chat three times. A schedule with one family per game, sent once at the start of the season, saves all three.

One family per game
Make each game a slot and let families claim one. With 12 families and 8 games, you will have spare families, so either add a second slot per game (halftime fruit and after-game snack) or give the leftovers the end-of-season party. Set a per-person limit of one so nobody ends up doing it twice while someone else does nothing.
Include the kick-off time in each slot. "Game 4, Sat 9am" tells a parent whether the snack needs to be in the car the night before.
What to bring
Write it down, or you will get a cooler of soda one week and kale chips the next. A simple standard works:
- A drink or water bottle for every player
- Orange slices or other fruit for halftime
- One packaged snack for after: pretzels, crackers, granola bars
- A trash bag for the wrappers
Check allergies with the coach before the first game and put any rule at the top of the sheet in plain words, like "No nuts. Two players have allergies." Families who do not see that line will bring trail mix.
Rainouts and reschedules
Games move. When one does, change the date on the slot. The family who signed up gets an email and can keep the new date or swap to another game. That is better than finding out at the field that the snack family thought the game was canceled.
Reminders
The single most useful message is the one the night before the game, when there is still time to get to the shop. Dibs sends it by email to the family on that slot, so the snack parent can stop posting reminders in the chat.
A ready list
The starter text above is an eight-game season plus the party. Rename the games to real dates and times when you paste it into Dibs. Share the link in the team chat. Parents claim a game in a few taps on their phone, with no account and no ads, and get a calendar file for the right Saturday. Show first names only if your league prefers it.
Team snack schedule: questions
What should a team snack include?
Water or a drink for every player, plus one simple snack: orange slices at halftime, and something like pretzels, granola bars or fruit after. Check with the coach about allergies before the first game.
What if there are more families than games?
Add a second slot per game, one for halftime fruit and one for after, or add the end-of-season party. Everyone gets a turn and nobody brings twice.
What happens if a game is rescheduled?
Edit the slot's date. Dibs emails the family who signed up for it, and they can keep the new date or swap to another game from their link.
How do I remind families it's their week?
Reminders are on by default. The family gets an email the evening before the game, which is when people head to the shop.
