well i had a tournement the other day..
4 games in a row..
one at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 10pm.
i drank gatorade but not too much..
the first game play the 1st half and about 15 minutes before the second half is bout to finish, sub out. so you have a bit of time to rest..

drink lots of water/gatorade and stretch. don’t sit down for a very long time because your muscles will tighten.
grab some oranges or bananas in between games. it will keep your vitamin c up and help you to keep your focus.

Hey, my advice is drinking water before, during, and after the game, and eating healthy foods, such as bananas, and noodles, as well as G2. (Gatorade works as well, except G2 has less calories) As for preparing and training for this, here are some things you can do.
-Jumping rope. It might sound funny, just do like sets of 1 minute of straight jumping, if you mess up just keep going. Do as long as you can.
-Stations of work-outs. Some work-outs: Have one cone. Jump over the cone from side to side, REAL jumps. Do it for like 30 seconds to 1 minute, over and over again, don’t stop. Rest for a bit, do it again. Consistency is what helps. Lunges, do them in a line like 20-30-40-50 feet, set up one cone at each end, when done, jog back. Do it a few times. Sprints, Suicides. set up 3 cones, each like 20-30 feet apart, jog to first cone, sprint to the next, jog all the way back. Do it about 3 times. Jogging also helps, like 1-2 miles. Also, do this 1 minute drill: 30 seconds, do as many sit-ups or crunches as you can, right when you get to 30 seconds, flip over, do as many pushups. Also this: Have a friend stand up at your hand, you’re lying on the ground. Hold onto their ankles, lay down straight, keep your legs straight, put them up to the person, the person pushes your legs down, keep them from touching the ground, going down as low as possible. Do this for 30 seconds to a minute without stopping, sounds dumb, you’ll feel ALL of this in the morning. (DON’T DO THIS BEFORE OR CLOSE TO GAMES, THIS IS JUST HOW YOU CAN TRAIN.)
Do these workouts, switch em up, and this’ll help a lot.

Eat light, drink lots of water, take an advil after your first game, so youre not soar, keep stretching, cause you will get REALLY tense and tight if you dont.

Here is an article that should help answer that question. It talks about rest and recovery and tournaments etc. It is critical that you recover. According to the article it says do things like: hot cold showers, eating within a certain time frame after the games etc. Check it out, it should help.
