Orange slices at halftime, handled
Soccer snack
sign-up sheet
Saturday soccer runs on orange slices and cold water. Put every game on one list, one family per date, and nobody shows up to the field wondering whose turn it was.

Why soccer parents like it
Games sit in date order, so a family leaving town in October takes an early game instead of a scramble.
The nudge lands while there is still time to hit the store, which is usually the whole problem.
Parents grab their date on a phone during warmups. No account, no app, no coach-managed spreadsheet.
Questions
How do I set up a soccer snack sign-up?
Create a Pip, choose the sign-up list, and add one row per game with the date, kickoff time, and field. Limit each row to one family and share the link in the team chat. Parents claim a game with a name and an email or phone.
What snack should you bring to a soccer game?
Orange slices, clementines, or watermelon for halftime, and something wrapped like pretzels, goldfish, or a nut-free granola bar afterward. Cold water for every player matters more than the snack on hot days.
How much do I bring for a youth soccer team?
Plan for the roster plus two or three extras, since siblings turn up. For a 12-player U10 team that is roughly 14 waters and 14 single-serve snacks. Put the roster size in the sheet title.
Halftime snack, post-game snack, or both?
Most youth teams do fruit at halftime and a wrapped snack after the final whistle. Ask your coach, then make it two rows per game so the family bringing snack knows exactly what is expected.
How do we handle nut allergies on the team?
Name the restriction in the sheet title and in every row. Nut-free granola bars, fruit, and pretzels cover most teams. Ask parents to leave ingredient labels on the box.
Can I set up all the games before the season starts?
Yes. Add every game as its own row from the league schedule and share the link once. Parents pick the Saturday that works for them.
