The picture of sudden watery motions with cramping and one episode of vomiting on the same day fits acute gastroenteritis, most often food or water related, rather than a period-related problem. Strenuous twice-daily training does not cause this, though heavy exertion with poor fluid intake makes dehydration set in much faster. Most such episodes settle in 48-72 hours with ORS in small frequent sips, curd rice or khichdi, and rest; antibiotics are needed only if there is high fever or blood or mucus in the stool. Since she is already on IV fluids, that is the right step for now, and she should skip training until motions have stopped for a full day and she is passing urine normally. Watch for warning signs: no urine for 8 hours, giddiness on standing, persistent vomiting or blood in stool - those need immediate reassessment.
Next Steps
Continue ORS and bland food, rest from training for a few days, and get a stool routine test if motions persist beyond 3 days. For any follow-up you are welcome to consult with me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Food poisoning is the likely primary cause given the acute onset with vomiting and watery motions — that fits better than exertion-related illness, which usually doesn't cause vomiting and diarrhea together like this. Strenuous training itself doesn't typically cause this picture, though pushing through two sessions a day while unwell could worsen dehydration and delay recovery, so it'd be worth pausing training until she's fully recovered rather than pushing through. A pre-period stomach upset is possible but usually milder and wouldn't typically need IV fluids. Since she's already on IV and antibiotics and responding to treatment, continuing that course as advised makes sense — just make sure hydration and electrolyte replacement continue for a couple of days even after symptoms settle, given the intensity of her training schedule.

Based on the symptoms it looks like Acute Gastro-enteritis
Which is most probably secondary to Food poisoning .
The training and premenstrual aetiology can be contributors ,but doesn’t seem to be the primary cause .
Usually food poisoning presents abruptly with watery stools , abdominal pain and vomiting.
Whereas excessive training can cause abdominal pain which is usually transient and present right after a very severe workout where there’s a hypoperfusion to the gut and is very unlikely in majority .
Premenstrual syndrome can present similarly but it’s usually cyclical meaning she should have experienced similarly multiple times in the past .
Next Steps
Ideally - Hold training for the next 48hrs , adequate rehydration with added salts (IV fluids and ORS ) and rest should help her .
Monitor for fever /persistent vomiting / blood in stools /UTI Symptoms and signs of dehydration .

Have you recently eaten food from outside, a restaurant, or any food that might have been spoiled or contaminated? If so, food poisoning is one possibility. Some food poisoning, particularly Staphylococcus aureus toxin-mediated illness, can cause prominent nausea and vomiting within a few hours of eating.
You mentioned projectile vomiting. Is the vomiting very forceful, with the vomitus being expelled forcefully from the mouth and travelling some distance? That is what we mean by projectile vomiting.
Do you have a high fever? Also, is there any blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain, dizziness, or reduced urine output?
Since you are doing strenuous training in the morning and evening, I would recommend temporarily avoiding heavy exercise while you are unwell. The most important treatment for vomiting and diarrhea is maintaining hydration and electrolytes with ORS. IV fluids may be needed if you cannot keep fluids down or have significant dehydration.
Antibiotics are not routinely required for every case of food poisoning. They are considered depending on the severity, clinical findings, and suspected cause.”

This pattern of sudden watery motions with cramping and one vomiting episode fits food poisoning or a stomach bug, not a period-related issue.
Next Steps
Please continue the IV fluids and antibiotics your hospital started, and rest from training until motions have fully settled.
Health Tips
Skip strenuous volleyball training until you're passing normal stools and urinating well, since dehydration can hit faster with hard exercise.
