I know we are suppose to emphasize sportsmanship and stuff when meeting with captains and such but what are some other points that should be brought up in a pre-game with the team captains.

I dont know exactly what else to say

Any suggestions would help

Short and sweet.
 

I ask the coaches "are your player properly equip and ready to play?"

I usually ask for the speaking captain. Then I make a very quick comment about them being the leaders of their team and we will treat you accordingly.

Then I ask "are their any questions?"

I have not remembered anytime where a question has ever been asked.

After that I say good luck.

The meeting takes about a minute and we go back to the other side of the court (or fill out the scorebook).

Peace

That's good enough. They aren't really listening anyway.

During the summer I told them to make sure all of their team mates had no jewlry on. And then ofcourse like you say half the time their not listeing and still get a T.

You had pre-game meetings during the summer?

Peace

With regard to the mandatory statement, I say:
"Any questions? ... Be good sports and have fun."

Yes... We did.

Why?

Peace

You give a T for wearing jewlry??

No. They don't play with jewelry.

It is just something that the president of the league wanted us to do.

...I remind them to wait to be beckoned in on substitutions, stop play immediately on jump ball holds as soon as the whistle is blown (quit wrestling), try to keep jerseys tucked in, and no jewlery (especially rubber bands on the arms or legs)

In addition to what's already been posted, I remind the Coaches to keep their assistants under control. Depending on the coach(es) I'll say " They're your assistants not mine."

If the coach is female and single I will ask if she is busy after the game.........
