Team Meal Ideas

We always did a pasta meal.

How are you accomplishing this with COVID??? 

My sister ordered pepperoni rolls from the Italian specialty store and added a bottled drink, piece of fruit & pretzels for my nephews golf team. They all had to be packed individually per person because of Covid.
I think she mentioned chic fil a also for the next one. The restaurant will individually pack each one.

That is sad for your girl!   
I'm in Southern California and they've been showing high school football from other states on cable (South Dakota? Michigan? Ohio?).  I think i saw 4 games this weekend and only the last game had cheerleaders - but parents all sitting together is apparently A-OK. 
Our football season might be held in January/February.  If so, cheer will definitely be there.  But then it will conflict with cheer competition season, so who knows? 

As far as snack ideas - something that can be easily packaged is a good idea. Or, whatever food is served can be wrapped/package.   Like wrapping a hot/cooked burger in foil (just bun and meat), and providing little bags with condiments separately. Those wrapped burgers keep warm pretty well in an empty ice chest. 

I was the team mom for football all four years and participated/was in charge of theatre meals for 6 years. We fed as many as 160, but I never had to have them packaged up into individual meals.

If you are looking for specifics on managing team meals, the search feature should bring some past threads up.

As for meals themselves, we usually did a theme night. Because we served so many, we had vegetarian, dairy free, and sometimes gluten free options. We always had a fresh salad bar which was very popular. By far, “bar” style service was preferred so that kids could choose what they wanted to eat and assemble their own meals. However, this won’t be an option if they are having prepackaged meals. Be aware of any food allergies (ask if it will send them to the hospital to differentiate between true allergies and just dislikes. We always had those with true allergies go through the line first to avoid cross contamination. Also, be aware that Muslims don’t eat pork and Hindus don’t eat beef, so you need another choice (so we served turkey breakfast sausage, multiple meats with tacos, etc,

Meals:
-Pasta with white sauce, cheese sauce, and red sauce
-Taco night with beef, pork, and chicken, hard shells, soft shells and all the fixings
-Soup and baked potato night—broccoli cheese soup and baked potato soups were a big favorite
-Pizza or Chick Fil A night—the kids could choose which one they wanted
-Picnic night—fried chicken from a fast food restaurant with various pasta salads, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, etc
-Sandwich night—subs, pulled pork, sloppy joes, etc
-Breakfast for dinner—pancakes, bacon, sausage, breakfast casseroles, scrambled eggs, frittatas, fresh fruit, yogurt bar, ... don’t attempt to make pancakes on site with electric griddles. The outlets are generally connected in a given area and multiple griddles draw too much power and trip the breakers

We're allowed to do our weekly meal for the football team with lots of new rules--the biggest one is that we can't do a normal buffet style, even if we are doing the serving. We have to have everything packaged individually. I'm happy to buy the individual fruit cups, but one mom thinks that's too expensive so she's buying a large can and filling individual cups...ok, whatever, but my leftovers will last until the next meal, but not yours. We have to do bottled water instead of water coolers with cups.

We're doing one of the boys' favorite meals--walking tacos--this week. Not a good idea in my mind. We have to have everything individually packaged...sour cream, jalapenos, salsa, tomatoes, etc. I'm not even sure how we're going to do the walking tacos themselves because the same mom is insisting we still buy the big bags of tortillas and use boats. Then there's the meat and the cheeses sauce. I get she's trying to be frugal, but she's going to burn herself out (at least she's the one offering to package everything...)

Other meals we've done include sub sandwiches, pasta night, pizza, grilled burgers/dogs, soups, etc.
