Proper hydration is essential for optimum performance. Hydration doesn't start a few minutes before an event, you need to start hydrating at least the day before. A simple exercise to determine your hydration requirements is to weigh yourself before a game/event & then weigh yourself immediately after (just wear your underwear because your top shorts etc will have absorbed sweat & give a false reading), some recent research recommends you need to take on 150% of what you have lost in the first 3 hours after exercise, if you loose 500 grams then you need to take on 750ml of fluid. If you are a prolific sweater it can be difficult to replace the amount of fluid you loose during a game/event so it is important to correctly hydrate before & after an event.
In summary - hydration is vital to your performance & recovery. Don't try something new on the day of your event, always test new hydration regimes during training.
