Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
Stretch a LOT. Lay down on your back and grab your thigh and pull your leg up for about 20 seconds five times. Do the same with the other leg. Uhmmm... Lay down on your sides and bend your knees with one leg on top of the other and open your legs up as if they were a clam and do that about 20 times. Just stretch as much as possible.

Are they sore?
if so, then try stretching them out if they're not liek excruciatingly painful.
I'm a dancer so I deal with sore hamstrings a lot of the time. If they hurt too badly to stretch, get in a really hot bath and try to stretch them after that.
hope i helped.
