An ice cream truck for tournament weekends and resort groups.
Tournament weekends put hundreds of families on one site for two days with hours to kill between games. Resort groups want a dessert that is not another tray. The coach works both the same way: park it where people already are, open the windows, and hand dip until the bracket ends.

For the people who book vendors
For facility and tournament directors
Travelling teams put hundreds of families on your site for a weekend with hours between games. A dessert vendor in the car park serves them without touching your concession contract.
A single pitch in the car park or beside the fields, with its own power and no water.
Service through the gaps between games, opening and closing with the bracket.
Certificate of insurance naming the facility, sent before the first weekend.
A season-long arrangement booked with one contact, repeated on your tournament calendar.
Three of the county's biggest draws sit within four miles of the winter base and run all season — and the youth leagues that play there want an end-of-season party in the spring.

AdventHealth Center Ice — five rinks, the largest ice complex in the southeastern US
Saddlebrook Resort's group and meeting calendar, two miles out
Youth league end-of-season parties at the park pavilion or the rink
Team banquets and rink birthday blocks between tournament dates
Michigan summers run on the festival calendar — markets, concert series and city festivals hold most weekends — so private dates are fitted around them and are worth asking about early. The summer version is outdoor: travel ball and soccer weekends that fall clear of a festival date.
Weekend tournaments at park and school complexes
End-of-season banquets and team parties, often midweek
Have a date in mind?
Send the date, the town and roughly how many guests. Every event is quoted for the day — the occasion, the guest count, how long the window is open and the tow set the number, not a menu board.
Does the coach conflict with our concession contract?
It is dessert only, served from the car park rather than your concession stand — worth one conversation with your concessionaire, and most treat it as an add-on rather than competition.
How far ahead do you need the tournament calendar?
As soon as it is published. The winter season fills weekend by weekend, and a standing arrangement across the calendar is the easiest way to hold the dates.
Can I book the ice cream truck for a tournament or resort weekend?
Yes. Tournament weekends put hundreds of families on one site for two days with hours to kill between games.
Where does the coach cover?
Wesley Chapel and Michigan tournaments. Both seasons are quoted the same way, with the travel included in the number.
What does the coach need on site?
A vendor that sets up in one pitch and needs no power or water. Service through the gaps between games, not just at a fixed mealtime.
What does it cost to book an ice cream truck for a tournament or resort weekend?
Every booking is quoted for the day rather than off a list — the guest count, how long the window stays open and the travel set the number. Insurance and vendor paperwork sorted before the first weekend.
