What Is an Athlete Fueling Station?

NCAA deregulated fueling for Division I schools in 2014. Since then, a-number of colleges and universities have been creating athlete fueling stations to meet the nutritional needs for their athletes. This is a location within a sports training area on campus which acts a an unmanned (usually) food, snack and beverage area serving free products to students looking for a something to sustain themselves during the day and night.

"For post-workout fuel, our athletes can choose a fresh smoothie made with frozen fruit and protein; if they would like something else, there are protein-rich bars, yogurts and granolas, and ready-to-drink protein shakes."
The fueling station features various everyday foods such as fruit, bagels, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, string cheese, yogurt, trail mix and granola bars among other options. The program hopes to add smoothies in the future.

Our History With Grab-and-Go

We created the first series of grab-and-go programs in the early 1990's and evolved into becoming distribution platform developers and operators for formats such as hotels, camp-grounds and marinas.
Our first series of snack and beverage programs (including with Best Buy, Lowe's, Hilton and Staples) grew to an annual $500 million and evolved into new programs within the food service formats (smoothie, juice, yogurt, coffee, deli, colleges and universities, hospitals, offices and factories, stadiums and arenas, theme parks, water parks, zoos, aquariums and more). www.GrabandGo.org
