Pre game

[Bearfanmike20]

I tried to search this and couldn't find what I was looking for even though I'm sure its been posted.

Can somebody run down a good step by step for pre game activities. I went to my clinic a month ago but I was a bit hazy on the details and my partner was just about clueless last night. I did the best I could but I would like somthing I can really study. I know on lower levels alot of times they dont do pregame but I want to. My goal is to be down state varsity in 4 years. If i'm gonna do that.. I need to learn to do this right.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the NFHS officials manual?
See pages 16 (2-man) and 46 (3-man). That will give you a good start. Adapt as necessary.

Hey Mike check your PM's....

As far as a "pre-game", I assume you are talking with the players/coaches, not your partners? For the pre-game meeting with players/coaches, keep it real simple. Here is mine if you are interested...

1)Coaches, is everyone properly equipped according to the guidelines from the IHSA?

2)Players/coaches, are there any questions on any floor markings, or anything else regarding the court?

3)Captains, you are the leaders on your teams, your teammates are going to respond to you, we appreciate your help ensuring that everyone displays impeccable sportsmanship at all times.

4)Have fun!

I don't like to get "floor captains", to me that is antiquated...if a team sends two captains to the meeting, why not address them both and get two people to nod along with you and hopefully help you keep their teammates under control rather than just the "floor captain"? If there are rule changes, you would probably want to address those early in the season, after that they have all heard it already, no need to continue all season...bottom line, keep it short & sweet, they have other business to attend to!

Send me a PM, I have a decent Pre-game on my computer and I will email it to you. And the NF one is not very good or detailed as many other pre-games go.

Peace

Thanks guys.

Ya.. I know the rules book covers it but sometimes its easier to picture it all when it comes from you guys and not from the book.

does that sound crazy??...

JRut,
If it's on your computer you should be able to cut and paste it right into the forum here and save yourself some trouble.

True, but I was not intending to give it to everyone. I was not the person that created the pre-game.

The pre-game was created by Dr. James Prenaismith. It's available through overpriced.com in various sizes and fragrances. I apply it about 15 minutes before each game



OK - I'll try to find my meds.
