If you’re juggling soccer, football, lacrosse or any other fall sports games like me, you know the importance of being prepared on the sidelines!

Whether you’re cheering for a win or braving the weather, here’s what I ALWAYS have in my bag to make game days a little smoother:

👜 Large Tote Bag – It’s a must to hold all the essentials! I love one that’s roomy but lightweight for easy carrying.

🧢 Fold-Up Hat – Perfect for unpredictable weather and folds away neatly when you don’t need it.

💧 Huge Insulated Water Bottle – Hydration is key, especially when you’re running from one field to the next. Keeps drinks cold all day long.

🍎 Healthy Snacks – I pack granola bars and fruit roll-ups for a quick, better-for-you snack that keeps everyone satisfied between plays. But let’s be real, my kids also love goldfish and cheezits as much as the next kid.

☀️ Family-Friendly Sunscreen – A better-for-you option that works for the whole family! Fall sun can still burn, and I’m all about protection without the harsh chemicals.

🕶️ Affordable Sunglasses – The sun can be blinding, and I’m totally fine with these affordable sunnies getting tossed in the bag or even crushed!
