Exercise is the one of the many causes of hematuria Exercise-induced hematuria can be defined as gross or microscopic hematuria that occurs after strenuous exercise and resolves with rest in individuals with no apparent underlying urinary tract pathology or renal disease.Its exact causes are unclear, but possibilities include lack of sufficient fluids, trauma to the bladder, or the breakdown of red blood cells that happens if you participate in sustained aerobic exercise.
I would advise your child to keep himself well hydrated with plenty of fluids during strenuous exercise.Generally exercise induced hematuria disappears after 48 to 72 hours. Other causes to be considered are bladder or urinary tract infections or renal disease. Exercise may worsen hematuria in patients with underlying glomerular disease, such as IgA nephropathy.

as his urine test or sonography normal means there is no stone or kidney disease.as per your history may be due to truma or vigorus activity.
treatment plan:

increase amount of potassium in fresh fruit and veg
avoid sweet potatoes choclate,spinach,nuts,any citrus juice
