Coaches/captains meeting, after all handshakes, by the R:
*"I'm Mr./Ms. (name), this is Mr./Ms. (name)."
*"Coaches, are everyone properly and legally equipped?"
*"Can I expect good sporting behavior from everyone here today?"
(Usually, I follow this with, "Okay, that was slightly enthusiastic.")
The rest is my personal touch:
*"(Visitors), it's pretty clear what's out of bounds here. Keep your shirts tucked in, listen to your coaches, and question anything you like, as long as you're civil about it. Let's have fun!"
