Nixa Tournament

The Nixa Tournament is sneaking up on us so we/parents need to start preparing for it. We usually do not need to provide anything Friday night. However, it is a good idea to send a snack and drink for your player so have for the bus ride so they can keep up their energy and not get dehydrated.
Saturday we will provide breakfast and lunch, and drinks.
Now, my best suggestion for this tournament is to put the sandwiches, chips, cookies, and fruit in individual bags. The past two years it seems the players have had to eat on the bus while traveling from one field to the other and have not had time to fix their own sandwiches. We will need to provide enough food for approx. 25 people. This will feed the players, managers, and coaches.

Here is a list is things needed for Saturday.

orange slices
apple slices
bananas
grapes
chips
cookies
peanut butter/jelly sandwiches (2 loaves of bread should make 16-20 sandwiches)
turkey/cheese sandwiches ( 1 loaf of bread, should make 8-10 sandwiches)
ham/cheese sandwiches (2 loaves of bread, 16-20 sandwiches)
mustard
mayo and salad dressing (sqeeze bottles)
water
gatorade/powerade
3 coolers with ice for drinks, fruit, sandwiches

Saturday morning I will have biscuit sandwiches and we will send some of the fruit and drinks to eat on the bus to the game. If you will drop off the items Saturday morning when you bring your player I will collect everything so it will be altogether. As soon as the first game is over we need to be at the bus with the food set up so the team can make their selections and quickly load back up on the bus if needed.
I know this list seems a little lengthy but if each player/parent provides one things it will not be a big burden on anyone. Please let me know what you will be providing so I can keep track, perferrably reply to this post. If you have any questions e-mail me at thesanders@mchsi.com or call/text me at 417-439-5162.
