Referee's, how many choices do you give the team who wins the coin toss?
1. Kick Off
2. Recieve
3. Defer till 2nd half
4. Defend a goal
Should #1 be taken out of our context at the captains meeting. I think this confuses some kids and feel it could be appropriate to just leave it out + I'm sure coaches would appreciate it as well as I had 2 teams last year that wanted to kick off to begin the game, little did the captains know that they would be kicking off again to begin the 2nd half. Thoughts, comments?

I offer choices of: Reveive, Defer, Defend a goal. I do not give them the chance to mess up. We always ask the coach before the when we meet with them. IF the coach confims they want to kick in pre game, I will add that chioce in. To me taking kick out of the chioces just is the "common sence" way to aviod a problem at the beginning of a game + it lets the coach know his captian will not screw uup at least 1 decision.
