Team Tennis Captain’s Guidelines

Cascades Team Tennis thanks you for volunteering to be a team captain. Please make certain you read the sections above on Play, Players, Scoring and

Latecomers. Then read below for a brief description of your responsibilities:

-  Alert your team  prior to the first day of matches that the Rules/Format has been posted.  At the first Meet, give your team an overview of the key

points and format.

-  Timely arrival is very important.  Matches delayed due to a late arriving player will result in penalties.

-  Communicate with your team prior to each match to ensure who will be present.

-  Leave enough time to get any needed substitutes.

-  Captains are responsible for ensuring their team provides two, new unopened cans of balls for each Meet in which they are the "Home" team. 

-  Captains are responsible for ensuring that they have enough players on the court for each match and for drawing up match assignments prior to

match play.

-  Prior to each match (by 7:15 PM starting time), determine your team lineup; make substitutions and ensure proper sequence of sets and discuss

your lineup with the other captain.

-  Following each match, report results immediately by dropping off the score sheet with Michele Kalin.
