A Peanut butter and banana sandwich with a Gatorade or orange juice. That provides plenty of carbohydrates and electrolytes to get them through practice without cramps. I always ate a heaping tablespoon of mustard before summer 3-a-days and never caught a cramp no matter how hot and muggy it got. Hydrating with water before bedtime is another big thing to emphasize.
