Some here still ask for speaking captains.

I do not.

Never have. Never will. If a player comes to me and asks me a question or a request to watch something as long as it's done in a respectful and courteous manner I will gladly oblige. Regardless of whether or not they are the captain.

I will never tell the captains it's the grey line ...

My message is something like this.

Shirts tucked in.
Subs to the table.
Nothing goofy in the hair ( for the girls season)
take care of your players

good luck, have fun.

With the coaches- introduce myself.

Remind them to indicate if they want a 30 or 60 and to break the huddle on the 1st horn. Good luck, and have fun.

I couldn't find the thread, but I love Adam's coaches meeting. I think it goes something like this:

1. Legally equipped?
2. Good sportsmanship
3. There's the coaches box

Done.
