Healthy Snack Policy

In light of the fact that obesity and nutritional deficiency-related diseases are on the rise in North America, the Newmarket Soccer Club feels that promotion and modeling of healthy eating habits and balanced lifestyles to members of our Club can play a crucial part in this issue. Whether as Players, Team Officials, Match Officials or as Supporters we all have a part to play. With the support of The OSA Club Excellence program, we are committed to helping improve the well being of our community and in doing so have implemented a Healthy Snack Policy since December 1st, 2010.

The Newmarket Soccer Club can help make this happen. Community sports also provides adults with an opportunity to become role models for healthy eating. Please take the time to consider appropriate half-time snacks, pre- and post-game meals as well as treats. Newmarket Soccer Club Healthy Snack Policy is maintained regardless of:

A Healthy Snack Policy empowers participants to nourish their bodies appropriately and limit ingredients that will impede performance or wellness.
