Okay, I'm not as advanced as all of you, and I still do a fair number of 5th & 6th grade games. (Although I do have my first JV and Var. games this year!)
With one 6th grade team I had trouble with in an earlier game, I just forgot about the captains and had both teams line up at the division line for a little spiel on sportsmanship.
I'm not sure if it was the speech or a bunch of 1st quarter foul calls that did the trick, but the game went well! :-)
