The kids are likely getting a slice of pizza. That wouldn't ruin dinner for mine. Exactly.

Yeah calling a slice of pizza dinner after a game is right up there with calling a donut breakfast after an early soccer game on the weekend, and neither is an issue for me. Although I will admit that I was glad when my kids aged out of team snacks in general because it was just one more thing to potentially forget about and screw up. The thing that drives me nuts is that at this age (middle school) when we usually don't do snacks at all, then one parent randomly shows up with snacks and makes the rest of us or the coach feel bad for not setting up a weekly sign up.

I’ve never had to specify what I’m bringing as snacks. You just sign up and bring what you want.
The only time we’ve coordinated beyond that is on tournament weekends(because the kids might play 2+ games and need more than a snack) or end of season stuff where we have party.
I would roll my eyes about asking for healthy snacks. My home food is pretty healthy but I’m not controlling about it beyond what I do for me and mine. I don’t have energy for that.

I see no issue with the pizza.
My kids would probably. still eat dinner, so maybe that's us.
And while I meal plan, I am always happy to say never mind and order myself sushi if they've eaten already.

Probably a lame one, but I dislike the monthly randoms thing we've got going on right now. Weekly was better. It says 1st week of March randoms right in the title maybe I'm thinking of last month. I definitely didn't see the first week part til I went back and looked just now haha

And while I meal plan, I am always happy to say never mind and order myself sushi if they've eaten already. But it wouldn't be both kids. Just one. Ordering pizza at a ball field is an expensive logistical pain. She'll figure that out.

It would be annoying if the parents on the other team did because it's likely going to create issues for everyone else when they come waltzing in with 4 pizzas. And for any of the kids on the team that have siblings at the game. Pizza isn't the same as a rice krispie treat or ice cream bar. At least it will be her problem to deal with and not the delivery driver since they won't deliver to fields, just to the parking lots (usually).

Oh gosh if one of my kids got pizza at a practice and the other kid didn't cause they weren't on the team, omg the amount of whining that would occur. they got pizza and I didn't get pizza and I want pizza. looks around clicks to order pizza

The rule of ordering pizza is that you always over order pizza and end up eating pizza for 3 more meals. Thus avoiding any problems with siblings or coaches or whatever hop ons don’t get a slice.

100% I would prefer if someone fed my kid pizza before dinner than rice krispie treats or ice cream bars before dinner. I mean, when I let my children out into the wilderness of interacting with other humans, I accepted that they will be occasionally fed things that I wouldn't have chosen to feed them. It happens. If I didn't want it to happen I would prevent my children from interacting with other humans. But I think that the occasional surprise treat is an acceptable price to pay for socializing.

Only in this place am I a dick for feeding a kid’s sports team. 🙄
For the spreadsheet, it’s common in our league to bring pizza for week night games that overlap dinner time. I provide enough pizza for players and families because it generally makes most people’s evening easier.

Speaking for myself only- I always take siblings into account when bringing snacks and bring extra for them. Most of our parents do.
Never has it ever been an issue ordering pizza to a public park or ball field. I have done it for parties several times. Or someone just goes and picks it up. Everything is close here, so yes #regional I’m sure.

The other team almost always has snacks too so? I truly can’t imagine my kids caring if the other team had snacks, even if they liked those snacks.
Like never once have I brought snacks and thought “damn the other team is going to be so jealous” lmao. But maybe that means I should up my snack game.
