whats the best captains speech that you have heard??

In Florida, we had a state approved card to read from. At a Boys Varisty contest between 2 rival schools I pulled out a card and began, "Gentlemen, you have the right to remain silent..." Put the card back in my pocket and said, "I'm sorry, wrong card."

I always forget that card in the changing area. The intros usually take longer than the conference itself.

Years ago we had a travelling team from the Rio de Janeiro area come through - all 16-18 year old kids - and they played a couple of the HS teams in this area...we got about 5 inches of snow over the days before they came in (that's a lot for us). So at captains meeting before the game, the R says this:

"Gentlemen, nice to meet you. I have one question for the visitors: Who won the snowball fight last night?"

Took about 5 seconds before they started smiling and telling us all about it - kids vs. the coaches, kids claimed they won, etc., etc...

Best captain's conference I have ever been involved with.

Ok, guys, look if you don't foul or commit any violations tonight, then we can get this game over with very quickly and all go get laid.

I tried that once, the poor 8th grade girls all looked at me funny.

I read somewhere, probably here, of a college pregame that was great:

"OK guys, no bull**** tonight"

Trying to work that into my MS girls/boys CYO- it's a hard sell!

That's good.

My conference takes no more than 30 seconds, although I do get a speaking captain from each team just so I have someone to verify the team is ready before the toss.

I know you want to get back to preparing for the game so I’ll move right through this.

Coaches, are your players properly equipped and ready for the game?

Of course, we all understand the importance of good sportsmanship. If you have questions during the game, please inquire in a respectful manner and we will try to answer them as game conditions permit.

Coaches, on timeouts, please indicate 30 or full right away so we don’t have to interrupt your huddle.

--Anything specific about the gym--
--Ask coaches and captains if they have any questions--

That’s all. Have a good game and thank you.
