Post-Game Recovery Protocols

What happens in the hour after a game affects how ready an athlete is for the next one - especially on multi-game tournament days.

General guidance

• Rehydrate and eat something within 30-60 minutes of finishing
• Light movement (walk, easy stretch) rather than sitting still immediately after
• Ice/heat and any injury-specific care should follow your athletic trainer or team medical staff's guidance, not general advice

This is general guidance, not medical advice - any injury or persistent pain should go to a medical professional, not a recovery routine.
