Nutrition

Energy and plenty of water are essential for a healthy athlete. It is difficult to exercise on a full stomach. Your child should not have a large meal 1 to 2 hours before practice. Instead, give them a substantial healthy snack before practice. Please provide at least 2 liters of water for every practice and encourage your child to drink up during water breaks. Juice, soda, and other sugary drinks are not suitable to keep your athlete well hydrated. IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR SAFETY REASONS THAT YOUR ATHLETE MUST COME WITH AMPLE WATER.
