It must be personal -- I find it especially grating myself.

Yeah, I don't like it at all. But that's just me (and apparently you too).

I think a simpler line about sportsmanship would better serve the purpose. Just asking as maybe it's a local thing like asking for speaking capts is here.

Yeah, I kept forgetting to mention it, but it comes across as a bit over the top. No need to get poetic.

Apparently it's some sportsmanship initiative in Arizona, which is where it appears the OP is from. If it's a phrase everyone uses there, fine -- where I am, kids would just roll their eyes at it.

My personal favorite is, "Black line all around is out of bounds."

One of my favorites, as well.

Basically, any coaches/capts meeting that lasts longer than 20 - 30 seconds once the R starts talking is too long and definitely bordering on, if not, awkward.

It's a program that our state uses. Coaches, ADs, and for a while players had to participate. Again another thing I've been told to say.
