• Bring water/Powerade, fruit, sandwiches, and healthy snacks. This is an all-day event, so parents need to pack food ... and pack it wisely. Using our Wrestling Nutrition page, here are some ideas and tips:
  • Breakfast. Pack something like orange juice and a bagel with jam, or cereal (not that sugary stuff) and milk with a banana, or pancakes with syrup with 100% fruit juice and milk.
  • Lunch. Bring a turkey sandwich, peanut butter and banana sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich - you get the idea with yogurt, fruit, 100% fruit juice.
  • Healthy snacks. Munch on dry cereal, bagels, raisins, grapes, graham crackers, fruit, oatmeal/breakfast bars, health bars, energy bars, veggies, pretzels, peanut butter, etc.
  • Drinks. Extra water and Gatorade/Powerade/whatever
  • What should the wrestler bring? His wrestling bag containing: wrestling shoes, spare socks, running shoes, singlet, headgear, warm-up suit, hand towel, deodorant, mouthguard, etc., also there's that pesky homework you could bring along.
