One relatively easy way to give the wolfpack a huge advantage over their prey is to have everyone show up early. In a dream world we’d have 15 minutes before the whistle to get the wiggles out, but I’ll settle for 5..

Tie the laces for the kids, and double knot them. Ideally tie the knot closer to the outside of the foot.

Make sure they drink plenty of water and make sure they go to the bathroom just before leaving.

Ideally save the screen time till after the game. Less or no screen time before the game will keep them focused and engaged.

The only ones who can hear you yelling at your kid are the other parents, so you might as well be encouraging and positive!
