What is Breakfast Club?

Since CCA Water Polo began, parents have provided players and coaches with a hot, filling, grab-n-go breakfast each morning after practice.  Breakfast Club takes the stress of breakfast out of the hustle to get from morning practice to school.

When all 3 teams practice we need 30 meals (28 players + 2 Coaches), 28 meals with meat, 2 without meat

 

Who can Participate?

All of our CCA Water Polo families are invited to take part in Breakfast Club.  By signing up, your player gets a filling breakfast each morning.  In turn, you will be required to provide at least 1 substantial meal for the entire team.  Our players depend on the Breakfast Club family of the day to provide them with a hot, filling meal.  

On your scheduled day, parents will need to be at Cathedral no later than 7:20am with breakfast ready to be served.  Plan to stay until 7:45am to clean up.

We are able to accommodate vegetarian/meat free requests, however, food allergies cannot be accommodated.

Please do not feel obligated to participate if it isn't possible for you to provide breakfast at least one morning at 7:15am.  If your family choses not to participate, you will need to ensure that your player has his own breakfast AND beverage each morning.

 

Where Does Breakfast Club Happen?

The Breakfast Club parent serves breakfast at Cathedral Catholic High School.  Enter the parking lot off of Old Carmel Valley Road.  Head towards the school and turn left at the "T" in the parking lot.  Continue to follow the road through the gate and down the service road.  (This is the same little road that the players who drive park on.)  You will make a quick right hand turn and set up either in the back of your car or on the bleachers.  Please take a look at the map below.  If you still aren't sure where to go, have your player take  you on a run-through.  

 

 

What Do I Serve?

A healthy, filling meal which includes a protein, a fruit, and water - keep in mind how hungry the boys are after a 2 hour practice!  
 
Most families choose to purchase food from local restaurants.  Popular choices are Einstein Brother's Bagel Sandwiches, Breakfast Burritos, Panera Breakfast Sandwiches, and Subway Breakfast Sandwiches.  Most restaurants require 24-48 hours notice and many will also offer a discount if you speak to the manager and tell them it is for a school team.  
 
Some families choose to cook- and the boys LOVE this!  Over the years we have seen homemade bagel sandwiches, pancake/waffle sandwiches, croissant sandwiches, breakfast casseroles and breakfast burritos, just to name a few.  Please consider the ability for players to "grab and go" when planning your menu. 
 
We typically have 3-5 vegetarian requests each season.  These are very simple to handle.  Most of the breakfastsandwiches/burritos come with eggs and bacon/sausage.  You simply request "no meat" and have them mark those meals as vegetarian.  Our vegetarian players know to look for these specially marked meals when leaving practice.  
 
Bananas are typically the fruit of choice.
Always provide bottled water.
Chocolate milk, juice, etc. is a nice add on!
Protein bars can be added to the meal for a late morning snack.
Make sure that the food is grab and go - the boys eat in the car on the way to school.
