Please make sure your child has
plenty of
water or
other fluid replenishment such as
Gatorade or
PowerAde at
both, practices and games. I would also suggest that your child drink
plenty of fluids during each day, especially 24 hours before a
practice or game. Please
refrain from using
sports drinks such as
Red Bull and others like it
that
contain high sugar and caffeine
content. These types of drinks can be
dangerous.
Please
refrain
from carbonated
drinks as
well. It is important for each player to get the proper nutrition
and rest/sleep in order for him/her to be able to safely give 100%
effort during practices and games.
For your child's
safety, please make sure that he/she has
all
the
required equipment to play inline hockey and that it is
in good condition for both practices and games.
We try to start the games on time and/or as promptly as possible.
Please have your child at the game at least 45 minutes prior to the
game start time. This will give your player time to get
dressed for the game, and time for the coaches to talk to the team
as well as have them warm up prior to game start time.

and start times.
For your child's fitness, which will contribute to his/her safety as
well as their performance, it's suggested that your child take 10 to
15 minutes daily, to stretch and perform some type of strengthening
exercise such as pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, knee bends, etc.
