In order to avoid dehydration, they need to be drinking more liquids leading up to the game. Waiting until the game starts isn't going to get it done. 

Someone on the team needs to make sure they're pounding this point home every day leading up to gameday.

Yes!   My kids played a lot of soccer.  They were all told to hydrate 24 hours ahead of time.   He said their pee should be almost clear the morning of the game.  

Then hydrate before the game and modestly during the game.  Lap said once you're dehydrated you're in a vicious cycle.   You need more fluids, but drinking enough makes you feel bloated, without really hydrating you.  When I played football we would get nauseous when we drank too much during heavy practice or a game.   And it did nothing to prevent the cramping.

It's all in the planning.   Hopefully someone helps Chase and Higgins get this done.
