FED coaches and captains meeting

[ballgame99]

Coaches/captains meeting at 5:00 is what we do around here. After about a 20 second meeting (sportsmanhip, tell coaches to let us know full or 30, get the ball to an official after a whistle), we shake hands and say "good luck".

In my little corner of Connecticut (5:00, head coaches, and captains (if necessary, all twelve of them):

1) Players properly equipped?
2) Players wearing uniforms properly?
3) Practice good sportsmanship.

"Have fun".

No, "Blue line all the way around". No, "Who's the speaking captain? What's your number? Are you starting?".

Like the title of my post, short, and sweet.

Frankly I don't understand why we have captain's meetings in the first place. There's no coin flip, no speaking necessary. Sportsmanship can be emphasized when meeting with the coaches. We're not writing down their numbers or asking them about penalty enforcement. What's the point? We don't do it in baseball, I don't see the need to do it in basketball.

I do it because we're supposed to. I simply tell them to take care of their own knuckleheads so we don't have to. Then I let them get back to shooting layups and watching the cheerleaders.

I believe the coaches and captains meeting is required in all NFHS sports.

It is in the rules in both baseball and football. Baseball tends to not involve captains as a general practice, but in football it is pretty much spelled out and practiced captains are to be involved with the coaches.

You do your captains meeting with the coaches in football? Here, we do coaches, separately, before hand.
