Pregame Script

A pregame script or agenda is needed for every high school home game in which we have public address (PA) capabilities (i.e. baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer, and softball). Scripts should always include a welcome statement, pregame prayer, the playing and/or singing of the national anthem, and, when appropriate, team introductions. Sports without PA can distribute rosters/flyers promoting their sport or take other steps to enhance the experience of their home games. For example, soccer can incorporate ball boys/girls to work the sidelines, retrieve balls, etc. Adding “extras” to our home games will always benefit the program. To enhance the experience for everyone, coaches are requested to plan ahead and designate people to pray and musicians to perform the national anthem. Canned music can be used, but preference should be given to live music when possible.
