For families who have children that play football- either tackle or flag- summer leagues are coming to an end, while school leagues have just begun. Either way, the team players, and parents deserve some relaxation and team fun for all their hard work throughout the season. A post-season team party with delicious food and snacks along with a special gift basket to take away is just the thing to help them bond once more and reflect on their favorite memories. For simple and affordable party and gift basket ideas, keep reading! :-)

Oh! And Kansas City, MO and KS residents can win a $10,000 donation to your child's team! Tony's Pizza is hosting a Facebook sweepstakes campaign in the Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS metro areas centered around community and pizza. Get all the details at the end of this post!

The Team Party and Food

To keep the party simple and affordable I created my own crafts, using brown paper bags with the tops cut off to store peanuts and popcorn. I used white-out correction fluid to draw the laces. I used the excess paper from the bags to make footballs put onto a string.

I decorated a poster board for the table backdrop and used a green tablecloth to simulate football field turf.

I kept the food options simple because kids aren't usually very choosy, especially when there's pizza and popcorn!

Instead of order and carry out, Tony's Pizza is a great, affordable choice! Not only is the pizza delicious, but it's a local company that started in my home state's, Missouri, sibling-state, Kansas. Tony's began as a pizzeria in 1960, located in Salina, KS, proudly serving community members layers of light, crispy crust topped with a sauce made from real, fresh tomatoes covered in 100% real mozzarella cheese and your favorite savory toppings.

Tony's has a wide variety of toppings to choose from. Our flavors of choice are Tony's® Pizzeria Style Pepperoni Pizza, Tony's® Pizzeria Style Cheese Pizza, and Tony's® Pizzeria Style Supreme Pizza. Tony's can be located in the pizza section of the freezer aisle at your local Walmart store.

For snacks, we went with popcorn and peanuts, usual game snacks, and cupcakes because, well, our parties aren't parties without some type of cake!

The Gift Baskets

To accommodate varying budgets of the parents on the team who would like to pitch in and help, it's good to keep the costs low, especially considering the fact that you're making a basket for each team member.

⬩A small notebook
⬩2 mechanical pencils
⬩Water bottle
⬩Toy football
⬩Granola bar
⬩A t-shirt for each teammate to sign their name and jersey number on each other's shirt

I'm glad to be partnering with Tony's because my kids love participating in annual sports activities and Tony's Pizza cares about fueling youth sports with an authentic slice of pride.
