Hi, Could I have some reccomendations of what snacks to pack for my Son who is 8 for a tournament he has this Sunday please? I am currently thinking, pretzels, watermelon, banana, chicken pieces, lots of water is any of that wrong or anything else I can add please?

We’ve driven over from Adelaide to Melbourne for a 3 day tournament. Our 13-year old daughter’s games start tomorrow morning at 9:50am: 3x 30min 9x9 matches. We’re fuelling up tonight with lasagne and garlic bread. Tomorrow is up n go and pancakes for breakfast and a snackle box (which needs refilling with fruit fruit tonight) in her bag for half times / between matches. All advice welcome!

And parents — read through each other's responses too. You'll pick up ideas you can use this weekend. No judgement here. Ever. That's not what this space is for. Let's fuel our footballers properly this weekend. 🥞⚽ — Craig
