I thought about practicing a team for cold weather games today. There's only so much you can do I think. You can't acclimate your team to cold weather in just a couple of days and there's no substitution for the frozen tundra short of practicing in a parking lot. But I thought of putting coolers of ice on the field for your WRs, RBs, and QBs to stick their hands and the footballs in before running plays to try and at least simulate the cold wet environment. And I guess you could borrow a snow machine from the local ski slopes but it just isn't the same.
Our D2 football team here is facing the same thing this weekend. Valdosta State Blazers have to travel to Minnesota to play in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. It just isn't a good environment for a team that likes to throw the ball a lot and is used to the south Georgia climate.
