I, personally, believe in keeping the pregame short. For high school ball, I simply:
Introduce myself and my partner.
Ask if there is a site administrator on duty and who they are.
Ask if the team is properly equipped as per the NFHS rule book.
Go over any ground rules, run ahead rules...etc.
Play ball.
I really never like to remind coaches that if they don't agree with the call to go to the umpire who made it...etc. That, to me, almost sounds like ecouragement to question any call that they don't agree with. JMO
