Team Captain Responsbilites and Tips

The success of the Intramural Sports Program depends on the leadership of the Team Captain, since the program could not function without an individual to organize interested participants into teams. The team captain has an extremely important role as the liaison between the Intramural Staff and the members of a team.
Communication is a key success factor. The Team Captain must remain in contact, throughout the season, with the Intramural Staff. The Team Captain must make sure of the correct time and date each event takes place and inform the team/organization of the policies and procedures of the Intramural Sports Program.

Please follow the list below to make sure you have a successful time while playing intramurals:

  1. Team members will be added by the captain by 12pm on the day of the first scheduled game or by 12pm on Friday for teams playing on Sundays at the Intramural Desk. A team’s official roster will consist of those players who are on the roster before the end of the team’s last regular season game.
  2. Attend MANDATORY Team Captain’s Meetings if one is scheduled for that sport. At the meetings, we will discuss:
  • Rules specific to that intramural sport
  • Intramural policies and procedures
  • League changes
  • Schedules, etc…

- If the captain cannot attend, they must find a substitute from their team. The substitute is responsible for conveying the vital information to the Team Captain.
- If a team is not represented at the entire Captain’s Meeting, the team captains will be required to pay a $10 fee to remain in the league.
3. If there is no Captains Meeting, an email will be sent informing the captain about rules and procedures for the league.
4. To enter people on your roster, please see the ‘Roster Management’ section of the Program Handbook. The team captain should make every effort to add people to their roster before 12pm on the day of their game or by 12pm or by 12pm on Friday for teams playing on Sunday.
5. Please make sure the appropriate people are on the roster before playoffs. Only the people on the roster are able to participate in playoff games.  There are no exceptions to this rule.
6. The team captain must also accept responsibility for the actions of all team members and supporters and maintain a cooperative attitude with all intramural officials and supervisors.

Ten Captain’s Tips

  1. Know the policies and procedures of the intramural program so you, and your team, do not get surprised at your first game or when playoffs come around.
  2. You or someone from your team must attend the MANDATORY Captain’s Meeting. This is a perfect place for you to ask questions, get help with problems with your roster, and get your official schedule. If you or someone from your team does not attend for any reason, the team captains will be required to pay a $10 fee to remain in the league. If the fee is not paid by noon the day of their first game then they will automatically be dropped from the league.
  3. Understand the Team Sportsmanship Policy (any UNACCEPTABLE must meet with the Intramural Advisory Committee before they can play their next game) and Ejection Policy (the ejected player must meet with the Intramural Advisory Committee before they can play).
  4. Keep a line of open communication with the Intramural Program. (i.e. give correct phone number and email address).
  5. Know how to add and drop players from your team. See the ‘Roster Management’ section below.
  6. Make sure everyone has a photo ID at each and every game.
  7. Understand the forfeit and default policies.
  8. If needed, know the proper procedure on how to protest.
  9. Don’t have enough players? Grab some from the ‘Free Agent’ list.
  10. HAVE FUN!!!! This is not the NBA or the NFL, go out there and do your best and if you don’t win, you can always get-em next week!
