Former lax and defense player myself! Hydrate the day prior, pretty sure you've mentioned in another thread that you drink a solid bit of water, so you're already on the right track. Hydrate leading up to, but don't over do it. Just consistently drink water, never to the point of being full. During the game just drink water, I like to grab one of those big body armor waters because they have potassium in them. I stay away from anything with sugar like gatorade or even the body armors (sports drink not the water). They will upset my stomach especially when it is scorching. Keep a water bottle on the back side of the net, being that it is a mens league no one should care. This way you can drink in-between offense and defense intervals.
Keep after it man!
