We need to manage our pre-game and between game fitness better. I've attached a health guide to this page. 

Please review this document. It will help the boys to be ready to think quickly and make good decisions on the field and play at peak capacity.

Below are some basic guidelines for the players to follow.

Breakfast or Meal Before A Game - Breakfast I recommend eating a piece of fruit, oatmeal, bagels, muffins, pancakes with little syrup or butter, toast, yogurt. For later games eat carb rich foods. See the health guide below for some great suggestions. (AVOID: Bacon, sausage, excess butter / margarine etc. Fried Foods: Home fries, hash browns, fried/scrambled eggs etc.)

Brunch (Immediately after a 1st game) - Players need to eat foods with carbohydrates. Bananas, oranges, grapes, plus bagels, muffins, low fat energy bar is good too. This will help their body recover faster and be ready for a second game.

Hydration - 16oz (2 glasses) of water Friday afternoon. 16 oz of water as soon as you wake up. 6-8 oz of water or sports drink, 15 minutes before start. Do not drink soda or fruit juices.

Sleep - Players at this age need to get at least 9.5 - 10 hours of sleep. Make sure the players are getting enough sleep for beginning Wednesday night.
We will probably be up by 6:00 Saturday morning, so players need be in bed by 8:00 pm - 8:30 pm Friday night.

Between games on the same day - Players should not be swimming, walking the mall or exerting themselves. Rest and recovery is important to be prepared for the next game.
