Everything You Need to Survive a Baseball Tournament
So your kid has joined a competitive sports team and will be traveling for tournaments and you don’t have a clue as to what to do. Don’t worry, I’m here to help you. We are wrapping up our final tournament of the summer season and there are a few things I learned you need to survive a weekend of back to back games.
I am going to warn you. The list is long. And you won’t need every single thing for every single game. But any good sports’ mom will have the following at her disposal.
This list is every evolving! Each game and tournament, I think of something new that I could add. Sometimes I feel a little bit like Mary Poppins because I seem to anything and everything we could possibly need. Or maybe I am like Boy Scouts and I am always prepared. Whatever you want to call me, I have gotten us out of a pickle or two with my stocked bag!
This list is jam-packed with Tournament essentials for parents! Whether you need to keep your legs warm or are looking for something to sit on while you eat your picnic lunch, blankets come in handy. Tip: Spray your players hat to keep them away from them on the field! Mount your camera on the fence and capture all of the great plays during the game. You never know if the field you show up to will have bleachers or enough seating. Bring your own chair for comfort! Nothing kills your back more than the bleachers! A stadium chair will help you out. Keep your player cool by giving them some shade between games. A rolling cooler is the perfect way to keep drinks and food cold during a tournament. Hand sanitizer is your best friend when you have to use Porta Potties at a tournament! The last think you want to do is have your phone die in the middle of a game! I always keep an extra pair of sunglasses in my bag! You never know when you might lose or break a pair. Load everyone up with sunscreen multiple times throughout the tournament! And in case you did forget the sunscreen, aloe will be your best friend! Porta Potties are a busy place during a tournament. Its a good idea to keep a spare roll in case they run out! You are going to need a wagon to carry all of your essentials to the field! Use this checklist when your player is getting ready to head to a game! Make sure you bats are compliant with tournament rules. You have no idea how many times we have left the house without a glove! If you want to be really prepared, keep a spare in your parent bag. Sweaty socks can be uncomfortable to play in! Keep an extra pair in their bag to switch out of. You can never have too many water bottles! They always seem to disappear!Everything Parents Need to Survive a Baseball Tournament
