Good Day

I wanted to know does anybody have any information on what to do , and how to train effectively and produce the best results from players that will be fasting during the month of Ramadan?

Sorry to say, I have no experience with this at all. How long do they fast, what do they take in during this time?

I had a player on my high school team that played during the fasting. His play did not drop off at all, but I would sub him out more often (in american high school league we can sub players, in and out, whenever we want to let all the players get playing time). He seemed to think he was more tired, but it did not show in his play. His performance was not worse, it almost seemed to be better, he had god on his side as he played then, he was a happy player...

Thanks..

They fast for the month of Ramadan - September, nothing after Sunrise or before Sunset, they can only drink water, they then eat after Sunset..
