Captains

The captains are usually people who’ve been on the team for more than one year, and they are also usually seniors. Captains are involved in practices, games, and school events. At practices, their duties include teaching new athletes cheers, deciding coordinating practice wear (if necessary), and spreading positivity.

For games, a captain will decide on the outfit, call cheers, and lead warm ups. The captain is responsible for knowing whether the team is on offense or defense so the correct cheer is called. The captain of the team will also play a large role in planning pep rallies.
