Mudbath - what to bring

Hurtems, Hertets and Hurt parents,

There will be a finalized post of carpools coming soon, promise.

In the next 18 hours, please HYDRATE, REST and FUEL your body (yes, even if you're a parent spectating) - stay away from carbonated beverages, eat protein and pasta, and dream of ultimate in your restful sleep.

A special spectator note: layers are your best friend, and I highly recommend you bring a reusable water bottle and a couple granola bars. Also: Umbrella, Rain Coat, Hiking boots (waterproof) or rain boots, gloves and a winter hat.

Packing list for the weekend:

sleeping bag/pillow (players are sleeping on the floor)

towel, shower kit, swim suit (we shower at Memorial HS)

your kit (jerseys, shorts, cleats, reusable water bottle etc.)

rain gear: rain coat, trash bag, winter hat, gloves/handwarmers

socks

more socks

additional socks

LAYERS - no cotton!

2x LAYERS (you will get wet/muddy; you will need a spare)

outerwear: sweats, a warm jacket.

snacks - high protein items and carbs that are easy to digest

(beef jerky, clif shot blox, trail mix, gatorade powder, gu, granola bars etc.)

This tournament is called MUDBATH for a reason. Planning makes you toasty warm.

Your car time is also good for homework, team bonding and review of strategy.

Remember that your gear has to fit in a full car. Pack smart.
