Being a team captain (TC) in the CSSC is an important undertaking. Team captains are the Clubs first point of contact for all matters associated with their team. The CSSC looks forward to working with all TC’s to make their jobs as easy as possible. A list of TC responsibilities are as follows:

Team Contact

  • All correspondence from the CSSC office will go through the team captains.
  • Captains are asked to respond to all correspondence in a timely manner when dealing with schedule changes, defaults, sportsmanship issues, or other requests.
  • Captains are expected to pass on all important information to their teammates.

Managing the Roster

Captains are responsible for managing their team roster, including;

  • Recruiting enough players to fill the roster prior to the start of the season.
  • Avoiding defaults by confirming players prior to each game.
  • Finding subs for games when short players.
  • Ensuring the roster abides by the Legends 35+ age restrictions at each game.

Sportsmanship

Captains are responsible for dealing with sportsmanship during the game, including;

  • Managing the actions of their teammates.
  • Bringing up concerns with the opponent in a respectful manner to both the Referee and the other team’s captain during half-time.
  • Submitting a sportsmanship rating for the opposition to the Referee at the end of the game.
  • Liaising with the CSSC office on all sportsmanship issues and follow-up.

Reporting Scores

  • Captains should confirm the score with the Referee at half-time and at the end of the game.
  • If score disputes arise, captains are expected to work with each other and the Referee to decide on the correct score.
  • Captains do not have to report the scores directly to the CSSC, this is the duty of the Referee.
