Prepare lots of appropriate fluids for your child to drink during the workout.
Have your child eat appropriate foods and amounts of food. Pack appropriate snacks to bring along. See the nutritional needs link above for more meal suggestions.
Have your children arrive on time for practice, and be sure to arrive a few minutes early to pick them up.
