Usually just give my kids water. Try to hydrate well before the game. And of course during and after.
But during a tournament a few week ago, after 2 intense games played in very hot weather, one of my kids had symptoms of dehydration - dizziness, nausea. After cooling down, water, some food later, he was alright.
But was wondering for those multi games per day scenarios, if sports drink or any of those electrolyte drops mixed in with water is more helpful to stay hydrated?
Was trying to avoid sports drinks due to sugar but maybe the sugar and sodium in those drinks is good for hydration on a hot day?
Was wondering if anyone uses anything for their kids.
