Intramural Captains Information

General responsibilities:

Each team's captain MUST be present for the captain's meeting to verify his/her team's participation. Failure to attend will result in his/her team's elimination.

The next captain's meeting is scheduled for THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 at 7:00pm in Augsbury 124.  Full payment ($5.00 per player) is due by the captain's meeting.

The Intramural Captain is the contact person between the team and the Intramural Office and if a team is to compete successfully in the program, a good captain is necessary. Matters affecting the team are to be communicated to the captain and he/she is responsible for passing this information on to the team members. If a captain is also a player on the team, they MUST be listed on the team roster as a player!

Information sent out by the Intramural Office should be read with care. Each Captain should also assume the responsibility of seeing that the members of his organization are given an opportunity to read and interpret all communications. Experience has proven that the teams that are contending for the leading position are the ones that have the alert and efficient Intramural Sport Team Captains.

Team Captains should carry on their work by direct contact with the Intramural Office. They should visit the office frequently and become acquainted with the Intramural Director and the specific Sport Commissioner.
