Jul. 28—MOULTRIE — According to the Georgia High School Association, the date for the first practice for the 2021 football season was last Monday.
And while it was, it really, sort of, wasn't.
The five days of football workouts this week have become know as acclimation, a week for players to get used to working out in South Georgia's hot and humid July and August.
Practices this week are limited to two hours and players can wear no other protective equipment other than helmets and mouthpieces.
This week's sessions are similar to those the team held during the summer except that starting Monday, they are mandatory.
