The most disturbing issue is that most of these young athletes are dehydrated before they even start to play the game. The simple fact is that coaches and parents are not encouraging the proper methods to insure that their children and/or athletes are better hydrated before commencing a strenuous sport in the heat. The following should provide information on how to reduce the risk of dehydration in young athletes.

Getting African American Children Back in School Before It’s Too Late
L.A. Watts Times, Los Angeles, CA – February 25, 2010
Many of the landmark battles of our Civil Rights Movement hinged on the right to an education. We all remember the images — the Little Rock Nine escorted to school by federal troops, or a deadly firefight between U.S. Marshals, soldiers and rioting segregationists intent on blocking James Meredith’s enrollment at the University of Mississippi. Adults and children lost their lives so that African American students could enter America’s school houses. Under the law, our battle was won. But today, in many respects, we are losing the war. African American children are dropping out of school at alarming rates, with nearly half failing to finish high school. The pattern starts young and begins with chronic school absences. Many urban school districts across the country report that literally thousands of students are absent without an excuse each day. Often, more than 40 percent of these missing students are in elementary school.
