Wash, rinse, repeat.
My captain meeting is just about as short.

I mention the box (CHSAA wants us to) and timeouts.
"Please make sure you're in your coaching box, and please let us know which timeout you want."
To the players, "If you see a teammate start to lose his head, take care of it for me so I don't have to."
I don't tell them about the lines we're playing, or the hand checks I'm looking for, or the carrying. It's not baseball, they don't need a ground rules briefing.
