Child. Exercise Induced Asthma. Help From Inhalers While Exercising. Safe To Take Inhalers In Between Practice?

My 12 year old son has exercise induced asthma. He just finished cross country running season and would take one puff of an inhaler before running a 2 mile race (about a 6 minute mile +/-). It worked wonders. Now he is starting basketball tryouts and the practices are 2 hours long (for tryouts) with a ton of sprinting. Is it safe for him to use the inhaler once before practice and once half way through?
