Student Athlete Hydration
Student athlete hydration spreads fluids through the school day and adds electrolytes in heat—urine color and cramps as simple checks.
Student athlete hydration means drinking enough across the school day—not only chugging at practice. Start morning with water, refill at lunch, and add electrolytes in heat or two-a-day sessions.
Urine pale yellow is a simple check; headache and cramps signal lag. Caffeine and energy drinks do not replace fluids.
Weigh before and after hot practices when safe to estimate sweat loss.
Common questions

Needs vary by size, heat, and training; spread sips all day and drink to thirst around sessions. A clinician can help if cramping or dizziness persists despite fluids.
