Pregame coaches and captains

[stilerng]

(To visiting team) _____, welcome to _____.
(To all) I'm ____, this is _____, and _____.
I need a speaking captain for each team. Captains, you are leaders for your teams tonight. That means you may address us respectfully with any questions you have throughout tonights contest. Also, you know your players better than we do. If you notice them getting upset please try to get to them before we have to.
Coaches, are your teams legally and properly equipped within (MHSAA) specifications?
Will you be using the instructional boxes tonight? (All do, and often more.)We would greatly appreciate your help tonight by staying inside the lines, thank you.
(All) Please be sure we know what type of time out you want. If we are not sure, you will be charged with a full time out.
(All) Sportsmanship is all important. Treat your opponents with respect tonight and keep your conversation to your team mates.
Any questions?
(Partners, anything to add?)
Let's all work hard and have fun tonight!

This takes a minute and 1/2 max. We don't need to preach a sermon nor go over all the rules but if some things have posed a problem in the past or are points of emphasis mandated by your state or assocation (such as the ones mentioned above) you may want to mention them. I find no merit in talking about things such as court lines unless that particular court is confusing. While, in general, it seems a good idea to keep it short I think the meeting is important enough to address pertainent issues. There is no reason to see how quickly you can get through it.
