Looking for some insight here. We have always alternated introducing Offensive starters and defensive starters each week of the season. We have aligned in our endzone and the non-starters make 2 lines and the starters run out and do what most kids do. (chest bumps, high fives etc....)
Last week I saw a team line up on the goalline and they did not introduce any starters, just said here is the 2008 (name of school) falcons. Team runs out to the middle of the field carrying a school flag.
I really thought that showed the true meaning of team. Not show any individualism???
What do you guys think and does anyone else do this or something simular???

no lineup announcements at my school. just team.
reminds me of Superbowl with St. Louis and New England.

I haven't been on a team that had introductions in years. When I was in high school they would have the names go across the little scoreboard banner at the bottom of who was starting, but even then, the whole team came out from the tunnel or the inflatable thing at once.

I don't have a problem with the individual be announced a starter. Gives two seconds of recognition the kids (linemen) that never get any in the press. If feel that if its all "team" then the PA announcer during the game should not mention who carried the ball or made a tackle........ i.e. Minnesota Viking completes of 45yd pass to Minnesota Viking for a TOUCHDOWN! That would sound crazy to me. (The Vikes throwing a TD and the announcing)
