I spoke to a middle school coach, at our state football meeting, and he said he can always tell when he is in trouble. When partners come on the field with 5 minutes before first pitch/tip/kickoff and are shaking hands and introducing themselves to one another. I am not saying you didn't, just reminding people how valuable they can be.

Good job in getting it right despite your partner.

No pre-game. Just as you stated in your post, partner arrives 5 minutes before game time. It seems to me that when you call games in these younger age groups, the pre-game doesn't have a priority.
