Hydration
To prevent dehydration it is important that athletes are drinking water before, during, and after training / match days.
The American Council on Exercise suggests drinking 17 to 20 ounces of water two to three hours before the start of the match and 7 to 10 ounces every 10 to 20 minutes of the game. Afterward, drink 8 ounces of fluid.
Sports Drinks can also help replace lost electrylotes during high intensity training / matches that are longer than 60 minutes.
