Game Day! *Early Start

Game Tonight at Club Roma (Vansickle) - Early 6:00pm Start - Players must be at Roma by 5:15. We are wearing our Reds.


Weather:
·     Thankfully the weather is much better today for our boys.  Weather Network says it will be sunny and 26 degrees, which will feel like 31 degrees with a 15km wind. It should be great weather for soccer but please make sure to PREHYDRATE.  As always, I will have a cooler with ice water towels for the players. 

Pre-Game Meal and Hydration:
·     make sure to pre-hydrate: drink one 500ml bottle of water between 3:00-3:30pm, then another glass of water between 5:00-5:30pm.
·     eat early and light e.g. small serving of pasta and lean meat (remember our meals at Sherkston), dried fruit, or my favorite choice - a banana
·     absolutely no fast-food before the game… you cannot perform on the field with McDonalds, Harvey’s, Wendy’s or Burger King in your belly!
·     Have a full supper after the game.

Remember to bring lots of your own LABELLED WATER for sipping and splashing on your head during the game!

CRAVE THE BURN!
