Captains' Information

The purpose of the captains’ quiz is to explain the Rec Sports guidelines, policies and procedures. They will also cover some basic rules and equipment/uniform requirements for some sports.

Each team entering a Rec Sports activity must appoint a team captain. The captain is the official liaison between the team and the Rec Sports office. The captain must be listed as a member of the team on the official team roster. Specific responsibilities of the captain include, but are not limited to:

  • Submit and pass the online Captain's Quiz.
    • A quiz may be required for each sport before a team may be registered on Fusion IM.
    • Each quiz will have questions from both policy and the rules of the sport.
  • Notifying team members of playing rules, playing schedules/schedule changes (often due to weather-related cancellations), eligibility guidelines, and ensuring that their team is in compliance with all Rec Sports policies and procedures.
  • Submitting complete and correct team/player information.
  • Representing the team in the case of protests.
  • Cooperating fully with the Rec Sports staff during all activities in regards to: signing team members to the online roster,  lineups, scores, protests, injuries, player ejections, team conduct, spectator conduct, and any other situations that might arise.
  • Serving as a leader during all activities by promoting sportsmanship and by helping to create a positive atmosphere.
  • All players who register a singles or doubles team is considered the captain of that team.
