Baseball snack schedule

Baseball weekends are long, hot, and full of siblings on the bleachers. The snack schedule should say who has water, who has fruit, and which game is a doubleheader.

Why the group text fails

A paper schedule in the coach’s binder doesn’t help the family that missed the first practice. By June, nobody remembers who signed up in March.

What the sheet should do

• Doubleheaders can be two slots or one slot with capacity 2.
• Families cancel from the email link when a tournament replaces a league game.
• You export the season if the league asks who handled team snacks.

Tips from running this kind of sheet

1. Call out heat: water is not optional, and sugary drinks in a closed dugout are a mess.
2. Write “after the game, not between innings” if that’s the league norm.
3. Add a shade-tent or sunscreen slot for the first hot month if parents already trade that job.
4. Generate the weekly pattern, then delete rainout weeks you already know.

Starter slots

Please bring water and a light snack for 12 players after the game. Doubleheaders need twice as much. No glass bottles. The button below copies these into a new sheet you can edit before anyone sees it.
