Game Day Preparation
We practice to learn and we show what we have learned at games. It is a time to let our parents, family and friends see how hard we have worked. At games then, we must work even harder.

• Come to each game prepared to do your very best and to play hard
• Arrive 30 minutes before outdoor games and 15 minutes before indoor games for all warm-up activities
• Be well rested. Avoid late nights or spend-the-night parties on the night before a game. All too often little sleep is had and players are unable to play their best. Your team mates are counting on you
• Do not come to games thirsty. Try to drink water right up to game time and be sure to have plenty of water or sports drinks to consume during the game
• Have a small meal but no closer than 1 hour prior to game time
• Make certain that you have all of your game equipment with you in your bag
• Watches, earrings, bracelets etc.should not be worn to practice or games
• Let your coaches know of any conditions or injuries that might affect your play
• Let your coach know well in advance if you will have to miss a game
• Try to eat a small snack about 15 minutes following a game to help your muscles recover
