As a girls team coach for almost a decade, let me share these items that were always in my coach's bag :
[1] Complete first aid kit (Johnson&Johnson $20 type) [2] Chemical ice packs [3] Hair ties [4] Extra jerseys, shorts, socks [5] Extra towels (dry to start) [6] Advil/tylenol [7] Extra copies of directions between fields [8] Extra copies of schedules [9] Extra case of water [10] Jumper cables (for parents cars in the parking lot) [11] Headbands [12] Sun screen [13] Lip balm (multiple tubes)
On the food front, we always found that a couple dozen bananas along with a dozen oranges were good to replenish nutrients in the two hour breaks between matches. |
