It’s important for your child to eat well on game days, but make sure your young athlete eats at least 2 hours before the game/event itself. (early enough to digest the food before kick-off/start time).
The meal itself should not be very different from what your child has been eating throughout training. It should have plenty of carbohydrates and protein and be low in fat. (because fat is harder to digest and can cause an upset stomach). After the game/event, it’s a good idea to make sure your child gets a well-balanced meal. Your child’s body will be rebuilding muscle tissue, and restoring carbohydrates and fluids, for up to 24 hours afterwards, so it’s important that your child get plenty of protein, fat, and carbohydrates in the post game hours.
