Wash hands a lot. Use separate water bottles. Use throw away paper cups for the water jugs. Sanitize equipment, clean balls, handles etc. Don't share towels.

Ditto . . . go to Sam and buy the jumbo size of hand sanitizer. Have your team use it before and after practice.

All those ideas are great, but that will take up more time then actual practices. Best thing to do is just let them watch from the sidelines. This way they know what is going on and they can properly recover and join the team without missing anything. From a health stand point, the body is not able to truely recover from any illness, if the person is engaged in any physical activity. That is young or old!

All of the above ideas are great with this one suggestion, keep the team from spitting "in our home". Meaning no spitting on the pitch, the ball is in play on the pitch and the ball has to be picked up sooner or later.

Also communication . For example if someone is diagnosed with H1N1, make it a team policy that they stay home from practice /games for 7days. That is the CDC guideline because they can still shed that virus for a few days after the fever is gone. It helps keep everyone healthy....
