In Florida we also have a mandatory conference with captains and the head coaches.
We all meet together in front of the table at about the 8:00 mark. The state association provides us with a card that we are required to read. The card has two parts, one asking the coaches to certify that their players are "properly equipped and will demonstrate sportsmanlike behavior during the contest" (I'm not making this up).
The second part reminds the captains that officials are required by the state to enforce all rules regarding sportsmanship, and to remind their teammates of this. There's also a reminder about keeping their shirts tucked in and removing all jewelry before the game.
