CAPTAINS

The Heart of our League!

Captains are essential to the success of the league — without them, dodgeball simply wouldn’t happen. They’re the glue that holds teams together and the spark that keeps games fun, fair, and inclusive. Acting as leaders, cheerleaders, and community builders, captains help create the welcoming, high-energy atmosphere that makes our league special.

Perks of Being a Captain

Captains receive a few well-earned benefits in recognition of their important role:

  • Free admission and pre-registration for the season they captain

  • Exclusive social event for captains to connect with each other

  • Opportunities to develop leadership and communication skills both on and off the court

Responsibilities of a Captain

The role of captain comes with responsibilities to keep the season running smoothly and players engaged:

  • Organizing the team by sharing game times and coordinating schedules

  • Coordinating the team’s refereeing duty and ensuring players are ready for their assigned slots

  • Fostering a fun and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome

  • Planning team socials to encourage bonding off the court

  • Addressing minor disputes or concerns before they escalate, with support from league directors when needed

Captains help set the tone for their teams and ensure every player has a great experience. Their contributions are deeply valued and are a big part of what keeps the league running strong.
