GAME PREPARATION:
Please have players at the field 1 hour and 30 minutes before game time to make sure they can play. Football weigh-ins start promptly, 1 hour before the game. If you miss weigh-ins you will miss the first half of the game. You will, however, have the opportunity to weigh-in at half time.
Once your player is dropped off with the team, please refrain from interrupting the team's pre-game activities.
GOOD NUTRITION IDEAS:
Eat good nutritious snacks/meals and drink plenty of fluids before coming to practice and games. Eat healthy, slow release carb foods that will take you through practices and games. Drink plenty of fluids expecially water. It can be dangerous if your child becomes dehydrated. It can get very hot during practice and games, so here are some tips to help your child perform their best:
*DO: Drink water 4-6 bottles per day. Sports drinks are fine but water is prefered. Bring bottled water or sports drink to every practice and game.
*DO: Eat at least 1 hour before a game or practice. If you don't have time to eat before, then make sure you chose a healthy snack. (see ideas below)
*DON'T: Drink POP or high sugar drinks.
*DON'T: Come on an empty stomach or eat a large meal right before a game or practice. Don't eat unhealthy sugar snacks (candy bars, chips, donuts, pop, etc.) They may give you a quick boost of energy, but you will crash quickly.
MEAL IDEAS-PRACTICE & GAME DAYS:(At least one hour before game)
