I had 8 games (varsity and non) in a row with rain, wind and either cold or thunderstorms (4 lightning delay games). Had to change clothes at halftime of one of them!
All said - it was a warm season up north. Nothing worse than mid-30s the last half of the season. Would have worn short sleeves for the second-to-last game except the rookie forget his short sleeve shirt. Almost went in short sleeves the last game of the season - about 50 but a bit too windy for short sleeves. |
I'm not shy about wearing gloves during a varsity game. I think I wore gloves 4-5 times this year on Friday nights. My hands get cold and I don't handle the ball all that often (my back judge is quite the ball mover) and when I do it's usually as the midpoint in a short triangle.
Now, my crew will never, never wear shorts or coats on the field, ever. I wouldn't mind if they invented an NFL style long sleeve shirt, though.
