How do you handle treats after sports

[Nebraskamommy]

My son just started playing soccer and of course, treats and drinks are brought after each game.  i offered to bring treats and drinks for every game but other parents are offering to bring them too. All the parents know that my son cannot have gluten. How does everyone else handle this? should i reach out to the parents who have offered to bring treats and say that i will bring a gluten-free alternative as i know that gluten-free options are not always easy to come by. i should mention  that some of the other items that i have seen other teams get are Oreos, Donuts, Goldfish. The couple times i have brought treats they have been Kind bars, cheese sticks and fruit snacks. Not the healthist but at least my son doesn't feel excluded knowing he can dig right in with what everyone else is having. i don't want to offend the other parents by offering to bring something gluten-free for him. oh and  i should mentioned that the drinks that have been given out are usually juice boxes or Gatorade. Can you say sugar and dye!!

I have A 7 year old daughter and for her after-school activities I pack a separate snack for her. Even though the other parents know she has celiac sometimes they bring snacks that she knows she can not eat. She's pretty knowledgeable of what she can and cannot eat so she knows there's no gluten she will eat their snack but if she knows there's gluten she will eat the snack I provided for her.

We bring the snack on our assigned day and all others we bring our own. It's never been an issue and I wouldn't want other parents to get upset that they can't bring snack (which seems silly but there are those who would be upset). I never let him have the juice boxes either because he doesn't need that. He's always got water. The other parents won't care if you don't take the snack, most won't even notice.

My attitude is only I am responsible for my son and his food. I never expect other parents to provide him with gluten-free options (and honestly, I don't trust most of it anyway). He always has his own snack and I would provide a snack for the team as well on my days.

one of the kids on my grandson's ball team last year had celiac (grandson does not) so i got to be the keeper of the snack cooler - when the parents would volunteer to bring snacks, i would tell them:  fine, but we need to keep this cooler gluten free (dye free, etc, whatever is your situation)  and they did their best to comply.  i always brought a ton of stuff and if i had to 'pull' a snack out of the mix, the contributing parent never noticed.  this year, that particular child is not on our team, so let the cookies crumble, lolz - i just bring snacks for ME   (j/k, i bring dubble bubble, seedless grapes, water and powerade - because i'm nice   )
