Let me clarify. What they do before games is fine, the running, jogging, etc. Doing static stretches (holding your toes for 20 sec, etc), has shown in studies to, actually decrease muscle power and strength. It is better to do light jogs/sprints and other dynamic stretches (stretching while moving).
