  5. Player Expectations (Continued) • Cell Phones • Respect (Teammates, coaches, teachers) • Hydration • Eligibility

  6. Equipment • It is the responsibility of the athlete to come to the coach when a piece of equipment breaks. • If an athlete loses a piece of equipment, they are required to replace it themselves. • If an athlete forgets a piece of equipment for a game, they will have conditioning at the next practice.

  8. Practice Schedule • Practice will begin at 3:45. • Practice will be held on every school day. • Practices will be relatively short. • Hour to hour and a half. *Unless otherwise stated.

  9. Hydration • How much should you drink before and after activity? • Drink 12 fluid ounces 30 minutes before activity begins. After activity, drink every 20 minutes during the first hour to make up for fluid loss. • What should you drink? • Cold water is the best fluid to drink during activity and allows for fast absorption. It’s a myth that cold water gives stomach cramps. Sports drinks work well after activity to help replenish lost electrolytes.

  10. Hydration (Continued) • How much should you drink during exercise? • Children under 90 pounds should drink 5 ounces every 20 minutes, and children more than 90 pounds should drink 9 ounces every 20 minutes. • Easy tip: A child’s gulp equals half an ounce of fluid. Therefore, a child 90 pounds or less should drink at least 10 gulps every 20 minutes. • What is the thirst response? • Don’t allow thirst to be your guide to drinking. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
