My go-to spiel:
  • Have captains shake hands.
  • Statement about sportsmanship and how they need to police their teammates.
  • Ask them to help us retrieve the ball on incomplete passes.
  • Tell them we'll give them their options on penalties.
  • Ask if they have any questions.
  • Ask visitor for coin toss selection, go through coin toss mechanics.

Depending on the level of youth football you're talking about, I might skip 4 and 5 (and go straight to the coach for penalty enforcement selections when necessary).
