Anything middle school and high school, I'll have a captain's meeting no matter what. If I'm not the R and my partner isn't getting around to it, I'll go ahead and knock it out of the way. If it's rec ball, I'll do it time permitting.
My captains meeting literally goes like this:
"Any questions before we start?"
No
"Make sure you display good sportsmanship towards us and your opponents. Make sure no one has anything illegal on (this is the only bit of information that I've seen that MIGHT get passed along)"
I'll ask if my partner has anything to add. If my partner starts rambling off about color lines and reaching and what not, I'll just nod off at this point.
When I wake up, finish off with wishing both good luck and we're good to go. All this takes about 20 seconds barring a partner who goes into detail
