The best ones are always short and to the point. Cover the necessary points from your state office and/or supervisor then move on.

The worst ones usually start off with: "Ok, as you can see we are going to play the solid [insert color] around the floor...."

I agree. Short and to the point. You start giving this great speech, and I guarantee most of it will fall on deaf ears.

[Ladies or Gentlemen] You've been selected as catains due to your leadership ability. You know who your hot heads are. If you take control of them, we don't have to. I have three rules to basketball. Respect the game. Respect your opponent. Respect the officials. Good Luck.

Depending on the situation I might end with (for girls) "and don't hang on the rim when you dunk."

Depending on the situation I might end with (for boys) "if you run into the cheerleaders, keep your hands down."

Had a partner give the whole lines, speaking captains, etc. I nodded off before he could ask if I had anything to add.

I don't even ask for speaking cpatains. I want everyone there to work for me. And if its done respectfully, I'll answer any player's question.

Exclamation

Here's the best captain's speech of all time:

"I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!"
