Proper Nutrition Is Key to Optimal Performance and Safety

Whether it's training for a soccer game or playing a backyard game of catch, children's athletic performance, development, and growth depend largely on eating the right foods. Children are not miniature adults; they have special nutritional needs. MomsTeam's Nutrition Channel is here to help parents know what to feed their kids for optimal sports performance, home and away.

To find information on a nutrition topic, select a center from the menu under the Select a Center tab on the left, and then click on the topic in which you are interested. You will be sent to a list of articles, videos and blogs on that topic.

If you are unable to find the nutrition information you are looking for on the topics page, please e mail us your request or pose the question to the MomsTeam community of parents and experts (of which you are an important part) by clicking on the Forums tab at the top of the page, finding a forum in which to ask your question or start a new discussion thread, or by e-mailing our Nutrition expert, Suzanne Nelson. Together as a team, we can make sure our children get the food and fuel they need for optimal health and performance.
