Pregame meeting with captains

[zm1283]

"Move your feet on defense, we will try to talk you out of fouls early"

Had a competitive GV game last night. Told coaches and captains not to scream at us as they would hurt our feelings

[Raymond]

Last night:

Captain's meeting: "Listen to your coaches, talk to your teammates"

Meeting with visiting coach: "BadNewsRef. You see where the box is?"
"Yes" "Cool, that's all I got"

"Tonight we're gonna play the black line all the way around. Oh, wait a minute, it's Thursday, isn't it? On Thursdays the bleachers are out-of-bounds...."

I've never asked for a speaking captain, and I don't plan on it. I would forget as soon as the meeting was over.

By this time of season, they've heard it so many times. A partner recently told me that when they got together, a coach said "Everyone's properly equipped, we know the concussion rule, we'll let you know on timeouts, they'll display good sportsmanship, did I forget anything?"

The shorter the better.

captains:
"You know who your knuckleheads are. Take care of them so we don't have to."

coaches:
"Help us on timeouts so we don't have to guess. Get them out on the second horn. There's the coaching box."

I did this (word-for-word) for pregame tonight between two teams whose bad blood traditionally runs freely and fully.

It worked. Turned out to be a great, sporting contest.

Had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. Partner was R (2-whistle), visiting coach said everything and we said, "Yep, that will cover it."

Frequently used in college games. I wouldn't use it in HS.
