My DD has played summers in Texas since 10U and she pitches, she is now 15. If they are leaning on her for pitching she may occupy the Flex position( this helps save her legs.) Our #1 rule is "half a bottle of water every time she enters the dugout" this has worked well for her, keeps her hydrated without "water logging" her. I have alway heard water during games, Gatorade/Powerade after. For snacks in extreme heat we rely on fruit such as grapes, strawberries, watermelon, canteloupe and bananas.
