It depends on your jurisdiction. In my state of Illinois we have to make a Sportsmanship statement. We also have to ask the coaches if their players are properly equip and legally ready to play. Outside of that I ask for a speaking captain on each team and tell the players good luck. My meeting usually lasts about 30 seconds.

This is an example of what I say.

"Coaches are your players properly equip? (They say yes all the time) Gentleman this is an IHSA game under NF rules, we are going to adhere to sportsmanship, any questions? (They say no all the time) Who is my speaking captain for (home team)? Who is the speaking captain for (visiting team)? Any questions? (They never ask one) Good luck gentleman and have a good game."

Meeting is then over and everyone goes back to doing what they did before.

Peace
