I have found that the coaches usually choose a fairly "level headed" kid to be captain. If I see a player that is getting frustrated, I might ask the captain to go take care of him "before I have to."

I don't really understand why we are instructed to ask the captains if they are ready to play either. But, it's in the officials manual so I'll do it until I figure out a good reason not to.

Assignment of Captain status is important to coaches, ADs, kids and parents, and from their point of view it truly is important. Our discussion with them means Squat-o-lah to the conduct of the game, so during my meeting I congratulate them on being Captains and team leaders, have a great game, go back to your warmups.

With reagard to readiness to begin the game, when I am throwing it has changed from "Captains, are you ready?" to "Jumpers, get ready! Ball is going up"; tweet, toss.

CRust,
"Get set and stay put" is what I say to the guys I'm walking past as I step into the circle to throw the ball up so they don't run into me onmy way in. The players know what I mean.

Chuck, how long you and Juulie been partners? Is that college ball you two are working 2-whistle? With the two of you on the game, I'm sure whatever is said in the captains' meeting is gramatically correct!

After reading this thread I realized that I have to make the meeting short or long depending on the situation I'm in. I would make it short if I had my way. In the DC area my partner, the two teams, the size of the gym, the coaches and whether it's a 2-man or 3-man crew all play a part in what I say. I have found this effective because once the ball is in the air all heck can and will break loose. I wish it wasn't this way but circumstances often dictate getting some things out of the way up front. This doesn't happen all the time, not even the majority of the time but it does happen. Most of the time I'm short and to the point.

Juulie and I have not worked together. It's just a future assignment I'm looking forward to at the 2005 THIRST (Tony Haire Invitational Referee Summer Tournament).

I think it would be great to work with a bunch of people from here. Who do I have to suck up to to get invited? I promise not to call in your area or use bad grammar

RookieDude,
I've used this on historically aggressive coaches and I follow the statement with a big smile.
For some warped reason, it seems to have a moderating effect on their voice-overs.
