"Captain, are you ready?"

I suggest strongly... don't have one.

I talk with the coaches. Handshakes. Pleasantries. "Are your player's properly equipped?" More pleasantries. "Is there anything you want us to talk to your kids about?" Last pleasantry. Closing handshake. "Gentlemen, Good luck and have a great game."

I have yet to have a coach say, "Yes" they want me to talk with (read as "bore") their kids. Therefore, no Captains meeting.

I'll go back and share pleasantries with the team I'm watching as they warm up.

During the introductions when the players run by to shake hands, slap hands, or give me some fist, I'll say "Good luck, So-and-so." It's not to difficult; the anouncer just said their name. I've just got to repeat it.

"EVERYBODY READY? Know what way you are going?" Tweet. Ball goes up and the game is on.
