[Ref in PA]

In Pennsylvania, we get to read (sometimes paraphrase) a message on Sportsmanship. It goes like this (you are testing my memory here):

"PIAA requires all registered sports officials to enforce the sportsmanship rules for coaches and contestants. Actions meant to demean opposing players, teams, spectators and officials are not in the highest ideals of interscholastic education and will not be tolerated. Let today's contest reflect mutual respect. Coaches please certify to the referee that your players are legally equipped and uniformed according to NFHS rules. Good luck in today's contest."

Once we are done with that, I ask who the captains are and if they have any questions. If we are doing a 5th or 6th grade game, I remind the kids not to hang on the rim after dunking the basketball.
