What can I do? I stretched and drank a lot of water before too. I played earlier for an hour and a half, and now this class in 3 hours and while im playing, like when i jump to block a shot both my calves cramp up for a second.. i stretch them out but it just hurts so bad.
so what does this mean is wrong with me? and what can i do to prevent it next time.. please my legs hurt so bad

The most common causes I know for cramping is dehydration and vitamin deficiencies.
Sometimes drinking water is not enough. Try drinking two quarts of gatorade every day for a week and see if that resolves the cramps.
In addition, taking a high quality one a day vitamin and B-12 supplement has always help with cramps for me.
I have always heard about the potassium eating bananas thing but it never help my cramps.
Good luck!

You need to do some running. It sounds like the muscles in your calves aren't developed enongh to sustain an extended period of exersize. Try it for an hour a day- for a few weeks & see if it helps. :)
