I'm not opposed to crews having the captain's meeting but we've stopped doing it for several years now and have not had any issues.

As I suggested, "KISS is always an option,
but only one of many." If you add "tracking down the Captains" you're pushing the meeting up to about 62 seconds, and any interruption to "taking them away from warm-up exercises" is likely minimal.
If you had issues during the first half, most likely they were discussed as deemed necessary at the time. Sometimes, however, teenagers have very short memories and a reminder can be helpful. You're choosing to stop having such meetings seems to fall under the category of being one,
of the many, options available.
