Would like suggestions for what parents should bring to tournaments.

Barnoculars Binocular Flask, Stealth Liquor Flask, Event Drink Flask

Sorry, I had to. It was the first thing that came to mind.

Jack Daniels.

Thanks to roscoe I know how to conceal it better. I have made friends with many field umps by being "happy happy happy".

Oh ya, I also go around in the middle of games and steal food from other peoples coolers, like the ones listed in previous posts.

Valium for the crazy parent, then once they pass out steal their water and healthy snacks.

Kind of silly, but a team mascot (i.e. stuffed animal) or team poster is fun for the girls.

Good lists. I would add: Extra hair ties/rubber bands and bobby pins. Depends on how old they are, but feminine products come in handy almost every time. Extra plastic grocery bags.
I always kept a "ball bin" packed and ready to go, full of all the necessities.

After this weekend I'd add insurance card, AND just incase school insurance information.

Lot of people don't realize if you're injured while playing for the school, you have the option of using their insurance. We didn't because me being a federal employee, 100% of any ER visit is covered. No cost. ( I'm sure others have similar coverage )

With all the items listed, where do you put the kid?

 

[humpty]

Chair ice beer. Ibuprofen.

Pop up, chair, umbrella in the car just in case. Great for sun and rain. I've started taking a big empty cup. Like the 24oz tervis tumblers. I fill it with water at the drinking fountain if I can. Lighter than a cooler! Lots of sunscreen so I can spray the girls who never seem to have any. Polarized lenses sunglasses, basic med supplies and always a pen.
