Captains

Each team entering an intramural activity must have a captain.  The captain is the official liaison between the team and the Office of Campus Recreation.  The captain is also the person to whom communication/correspondence will be directed.  The captain must be listed as a member of the team on the roster and list two forms of contact (cell phone number and email address preferred).  Specific responsibilities of the captain include:

1. Attending (or sending another team member) to any scheduled captain's meeting.
2. Notify team members of rules, playing schedules and changes, and eligibility policies and ensuring that the team is in compliance.
3. Representing the team in the case of protests.
4. Serving as a leader at contests by communicating with officials and supervisors and promoting fair play by helping to create a positive atmosphere.
5. Encouraging their team's players to act to prevent their fans from abusing the officials and to help the officials control the fans so that the game is not disrupted.  If the fans get out of control, the officials will issue team captains a warning.  If the captain does not gain control of the crowd, a penalty will be assessed on that team.
6. Promote good sportsmanship and fair play.
7. Inform all members of his/her team the proper process if ejected from an intramural event or game.
