For us, we never trained footy when it was boiling hot - like today. Pre season in Feb just didn't exist. Nowadays making people train for footy in conditions like this is pretty dumb because of the extent footballers train.
I agree with the post above, the advantage you'll get from training in conditions like this is what? Has it been proven to add 5 goals to a game by training in these conditions? I actually don't know the answer, but till it's proven I wouldn't make it mandatory at all. Some clubs have decided to train. I note Adelaide (properly fit players, monitored to the 'nth' degree) decided to get off the track before it hit 40 this morning. I wouldn't have trained tonight if I were in charge of a club.
For me, we used to play and practice for cricket in this heat (probably not so extreme but I can't recall). I remember playing in at least 42/43 degrees mid summer and there was no heat policy. No one complained and no one died. Not that it's right, just saying that's what happened. I think if you do decide to play/train in this heat, it must be optional and clubs must have tolerance to those that don't. The liability still stays with the club however, hence their reasoning is solid if they decide to 'pull' training.
The massive problem I see is that we've conditioned our kids to bail out when it's 'hot'. Today was hot. When its 34, it's not 'hot'.
Tough and complex conversation but I support the SANFL's, the ATCA, NEJMCA and all other's policy in principal.

Bloke bowled a spell, went off for tea and sat under a tree where he went in to cardiac arrest. Even playing cricket in this heat is ludicrous unless you are a supremely fit athlete. How many times We used to play when it was 40 plus and you would feel like absolute dog shit for half the week following. It’s not right.

Already had a policy in place at that time, but yes someone did die - infact i think there were a few passed away within a very short period of time.
Training in extreme heat is just plain stupid, the risks outweigh the gains, especially in amateur clubs where players are unlikely to be heat stress savvy and wouldn't be taking in the required fluids to stay hydrated - before, during and after.

That's right Bedge, less talent but more work = about 260 more A grade games than you
