				Pre-Game Captains Meeting
			 
 
			
			I am looking for some input on what others say during their pre-game captains meeting.  The general flow of our conversations go like this:
 R: Coach A, Do you have an administrator?
 Coach A:  Yes
 
 R: Coach B, Do you have an administrator?
 Coach B: Yes
 
 R: (to both coaches) Are your players legally equipped and will demonstrate good sportsmanship?
 
 Coach A and B:  (faintly) yes
 
 R: Who are my speaking captains?
 A : 32 B: 10
 
 R: White take care of white, blue take care of blue
 
 R:  Good luck....
 
 Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with how this goes, but its become so repetitive with players and coaches, that I think most of them aren't paying any attention.  The other night, I said "Coaches, my partners are not going to make any mistakes, but I will, come to us if you have questions."  Just trying to see if they were awake....got nothing.
