Captain Roles and Responsibilities

We know it can be a daunting task to captain a team, but we hope that those of you who are interested in the role will find it a fun and rewarding experience.

There are a few hard rules that must be followed by captains, so we'll start with those:

• You are responsible for ensuring two dodgeballs are present at every game. You do not have to be the one in possession of the balls, but need to make sure that whoever has them is bringing them to the game.
• You will need to do a weekly roster check to make sure you have enough players for the game. The minimum before a forfeit is 4, but ideally you should be looking to have 7-8 confirmed players so that individuals can rest during the game.
• If required, you should keep your own roster of subs. They need to be signed up and registered to play with Dodgeball Collective before playing by using the sub registration form.
• You should know the rules and policies of the league and know where to find them on the website to show teammates if they have questions.
• You are responsible for keeping games flowing by being the point of contact between the two teams. You will need to step in if players from your team try to speak directly with players from the opposing team over game disputes.

You can make as much or as little of the role as you wish, ultimately your main responsibility is to ensure everyone is having a fun and fair game and that everyone on the team, no matter their skill level, feels like a valued member of the league.
