My son's soccer team is headed to Utah to play a couple of matches this weekend. We live at about 1000' ASL, and SLC is about 4300'. Is the elevation difference a factor for 16 year olds? And if so, do those "oxygen in a can" things help?

I would say dehydration would be a bigger issue. Start hydrating now.

Unless you plan on giving him more hemoglobin and a lower resting heart rate, giving him more oxygen won't do anything except oxidize his DNA a bit faster.
