Our state requires the procedure before the game, but it's only one question - "Are all your players properly equipped?", and a statement about expecting good sportsmanship.
It is a little ridiculous, but I guess someone in the ivory tower thought that reminding coaches about good sportsmanship will all of sudden cause that lunatic coach to go "Oh, that's right! I'm supposed to be a role model!"
The rest of us treat it as a 30 second intro to the refs - shake hands, nod at the right places, and go back to your team.
