Q: How should I keep players hydrated in hot weather?

UKHSA's guidance for children in hot weather: Make water available and encourage children to drink more than usual. Encourage them to eat normally and drink plenty of water. Watch for dehydration and for signs of heat stress, such as out-of-character behaviour, discomfort or irritability. UKHSA doesn't set a specific amount or a drinks-break schedule. Your sport's governing body or competition may set its own rules on drinks breaks in hot weather.
