Youth sports are a cornerstone of community engagement. There is no better way to instill the ideals of teamwork, discipline, and camaraderie for today’s youth. But amidst the scramble to find jerseys, pack snacks, and fill water bottles, bathroom access often gets overlooked. Will there be portable toilets or bathroom facilities available?
This last-minute scramble to find a secluded place to squat can add unnecessary stress for players and families alike. So don’t risk it. Packing a convenient outdoor portable toilet for sporting events can help everyone stay comfortable and focused on what truly matters—the game.
Cleanwaste is here to cheer you on. This guide introduces tips for managing waste during youth sports using the acronym S.P.O.R.T.S. Each letter represents an essential aspect of making restroom access easy and efficient, helping families enjoy the games without worry. So suit up – it’s game time!
S – Sidelines: Outdoor Portable Potty for the WIN
It’s game day. Your team lugs their gear to the sidelines and starts to gear up. If you’re a parent, especially one toting around younger siblings, you’re probably the first to notice if there’s a lack of restroom facilities. You never know if the bathrooms will be functional, open, or available. Packing a just-in-case outdoor bathroom kit could be a game changer for the team and spectators, ensuring everyone can focus on the game without worrying about restroom access.
What is the best game-time bathroom scenario? You pack along a portable outdoor toilet with a privacy tent.
This potty kit includes:
- 1 GO Anywhere Portable Toilet®
- 1 GO Anywhere Privacy Shelter®
- 15 GO Anywhere WAG Bags (Waste Alleviation and Gelling bags that can be thrown in the trash – PLUS they keep the crap odor-free!)
- 1 large transport bag for used kits
- 1 backpack that stores everything
Not only can you use this as a lightweight portable potty solution, but the privacy tent also offers a changing space if players need to change uniforms between games. So toss it in your gear wagon and bring your bathroom along with you.
Extra points? Little brothers and sisters don’t have to do the potty dance on the sidelines.
P – Practice Sessions: Practical Poop Solutions
Your practice field may not always come with a convenient restroom. You need a fast, easy, hygienic outdoor portable potty to avoid uncomfortable bathroom situations for players and coaches alike.
Consider packing a portable toilet and bags and pairing it with a pop-up privacy tent. Cleanwaste’s portable toilet is only 7 lbs and folds into a closed standard briefcase size with a handle. You’ll probably want some privacy – pack along a portable privacy tent to pop up over your portable potty for immediate shelter.
This simple solution offers a quick setup while allowing players to focus on their training without the stress of searching for a restroom.
O – On-The-Go: The Best Portable Potty for Travel
There’s nothing worse than hitting the road, only to hear your kids complain that they need a bathroom a few minutes into the trip. Sports competitions often require travel, and the last thing you want is to be caught in an emergency bathroom situation while on the road. Having a bag toilet on hand ensures that you’re always prepared. There are WAG bags designed for pee only with thoughtful unisex design.
Go With the Flow bags are perfect for car travel because:
- They have a wide opening with a semi-rigid rim, allowing easy use
- A one-way valve effectively prevents spills.
- An odor-controlling blend of polymers and enzymes ensures freshness
- Waste-activated gelling helps break down waste within the bag for added convenience.
This quick, hygienic solution is the perfect potty win for players and their families during travel. Plus, it’s much more convenient than a Gatorade bottle.
R – Remote Locations: How Do You Poop Outside?
Whether it’s runners traversing rugged trails, golfers teeing off in secluded areas, or fishermen casting lines by tranquil lakes, many youth sports take place in remote locations. For these competitors, bathroom access can make or break the day. Even carrying a just-in-case WAG bag can be a quick bathroom solution in an ‘uh-oh” situation. An emergency toilet kit can provide convenience and comfort, ensuring participants can focus on their performance.
Cleanwaste is the creator of the Original WAG Bag®, which includes waste bags, Poo Powder® Gelling/Deodorizing Agent, a puncture-resistant zip-close disposal bag, toilet paper, and even a hand wipe. And for the best compostable WAG bag on the market, go with the Green Mountain Bag.
T – Tournaments: Family-Friendly Bathroom Solutions
Tournaments often span entire weekends, attracting families who come out to support their young athletes. As a parent, there’s nothing like hauling your whole family to the field only to find out there’s no bathroom for the entire weekend. As grandparents, parents, and siblings travel long distances to watch the games, access to restrooms becomes essential for players and fans. Eliminate bathroom stress by setting up portable toilets at fields lacking permanent facilities so everyone can enjoy the event without unnecessary interruptions.
S – Special Events: Celebrating Together
Youth sports are about community and celebration. Whether it’s a festival where families gather to support their teams, an end-of-season celebration, an outdoor awards ceremony, or a fundraiser, having an outdoor portable toilet enhances the experience. Cleanwaste products offer hygienic, eco-friendly, odorless bathroom solutions that you can bring with you and pack up when you leave – unlike nasty porta potties that can get expensive for single-day events. These facilities ensure that everyone can participate fully, allowing families to focus on enjoying the moment together. In youth sports, convenience and accessibility are everything, especially for busy parents. The S.P.O.R.T.S. guide offers a practical approach to waste management during youth sports. Having portable toilets on hand during game days, practice sessions, travel, and special events can make the experience much smoother for everyone involved. Let’s not overlook restroom access—prioritizing it can help keep kids and families happy and focused on enjoying the game!
