Electrolytes for Soccer

Who this is for

Soccer players — club, high school, college, or weekend league — who cover significant distance over a match or a full practice.

When to use electrolytes

Before kickoff, at halftime, and after the match or practice, especially during preseason heat.

Why hydration matters here

Outfield players can cover several miles over a match with a mix of jogging and sprinting — that steady, sustained sweat loss over 90 minutes plus stoppage time is different from a short, high-intensity workout and needs a hydration plan that spans the whole match, not just a sip at halftime.

Why sugar-free and caffeine-free is relevant — and optimal

A sugary halftime drink can leave you flat for the second half, and caffeine-free keeps hydration appropriate for a locker room with players of different ages.
