Coaches decide how team captains are selected. Captains may be elected by the team or appointed by the coach prior to the first regularly scheduled contest. Captains may also be elected or appointed on a game-by-game basis. The team will be informed by the coach as to how captains will be selected.
It is expected that team captains be leaders of their team and ready to assume duties their coaches outline. They are expected to be well aware of the team rules and student athlete responsibilities. Captains are expected to communicate with the coach, team and the Athletic Director in the event of any problems that may affect the team or its members. Captains may be asked to meet with the Athletic Director during the school year to discuss the athletic program.
Captains of teams may be relieved of their position for violation of team, department or school rules.
