Other than the funny stuff though - Really guys? We can't give an interesting enough meeting to hold the players or coaches attention for one minute or so? Is it possible that because of this players don't listen and by the end of the season coaches don't even attend? Have you ever finished this conference and had a coach say, "That's the best captains meeting I've ever heard" ? I have and I say this meeting can have some significant meaning if we'll put some effort into it. It's up to us! If most of us don't care to though we'll continue with the same ceremonial, mundane, meaningless, required meeting. We can do better as officials than just go through the motions, pick up our checks, and take our free showers. Ooops, maybe I've gone too far. No offense (unless it will help)
Wow, I thought I was anal. Get a load of Mr. Best captains' meeting I ever heard! Let's hurry up and give him the state championship.

You do a lot of 6th grade girls, don't you.


That wasn't intended to be as mean as it sounded, I was just having some fun at your expense, but seriously, as almost everyone else here has told you, the players DON'T CARE one bit what you say in that stupid meeting, and the coaches just want your name so that they can beg for calls during the game.
Once you understand that you are eligible for promotion to freshmen girls.

Might I suggest worrying more about your game control once the ball goes up and less about how wonderful your pregame talk was.

And I've never had a coach tell me after the game, "You guys called a terrible game tonight, but I loved your pregame meeting."
