Good info guys. Coaching youth football has it's hazards, particularly in the south where the temps are in the high 90's when practice starts. It breaks my heart every summer for the couple weeks of practice when a news story airs about some 13 or 15yo kid dying during practice. I think there were several in the state of GA last year alone. I can't emphasize enough to parents how to hydrate their kids off the field. I'll be incorporating some of the language in this thread into our notes to parents.
