Pre-Game talk

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I have the captains introduce themselves to each other. I then introduce my partners and myself.

Then I state that everything I tell the captains must be relayed to everone on their team including their teammates, coaches, and other bench personnel).

Then I state the two rules following rules and that these rules are mutually inclusive, meaning that violating one rule automatically violates the other rule:

Rule #1: We play sports because they are fun. If you cannot have fun or feel that you are not having fun, have your coach replace you.

Rule #2: Conduct yourself as gentlemen/ladies at all times. If you cannot conduct yourself as a gentleman/lady or do not want to conduct yourself as a gentleman/lady then have your coach replace you.

I then tell the captains, that by rule, they are in complete charge of their teams at all times(that includes players, substitutes, coaches (who by rule, are also in charge of bench personnel), and all other bench personnel.

I then tell them good luck and most importantly to HAVE FUN!!
