The 8 station also comes in a fence mount design which is convenient if you have a fence next you your field. You won't have water running all over the field and your players with this model. All you do is hook up the hose and when a player wants a drink he grabs a hose and squeezes the handle. The next step up is the 8 station A frame which has 8 individual hoses and nozzles with shut off valves. Another convenience of this system is that it has wheels to easily get it around. This system connects to an ordinary garden hose. You can get a basic one that has water fountains which come out of a long tube. If you have access to a water hose on your field you can get an inline watering system. This works and is a basic solution but if you have a team of thirsty football players, you are going to need something with a little more muscle. You can start with getting a water cooler and cups.
