Captain Responsibilities

Captains Overview

Description
Captains are an important piece of the system that will make TC United Adult Soccer League function well. Captains will communicate with their teams, make sure they are at the right field at the right time and ready to go at game time. The captain helps set the lineup and the substitution system. During the game, the captain is the team's liaison with the referees. If a teammate loses his or her temper, the captain should step in and help calm things down.

The most important role of Team Captain is to serve as a communication conduit for the league. They can help explain procedures to the players, and they can help make sure that a player's voice is heard concerning any aspect of the league. Good communication in all directions will help the league meet the needs of the players, and captains are the key.

Captain Responsibilities

The Team Captain shall attend any meeting scheduled by the league for Team Captains in order to review, update, and educate the teams on rule, policy, or procedural changes.

Communicate with your team
It is the Team Captain’s responsibility to pass on all information that is presented at the Team Captain Meetings or emailed/text to them by the league to their players, even if they do not personally attend the meetings.
