Help us pack your team bins and plan menu options with food that everyone on your team can enjoy! We will do what we can to accommodate participants’ needs (and we can do our best work with advance notice!). Most snacks for the team bins will be individually or separately packaged, to make them easier to customize.

If an allergy is so severe that we need to adjust the entire team’s bin, or if the entire team is kosher, for example, use the comments box at the end of the form to let us know, and we’ll be in touch.

Please use this form to add as many players and coaches/chaperones as you need to. Please complete the form by May 1st.

Questions or additional info? Use the comment box at the end of the form, and a parent coordinator will get back to you.
