the league).
Leadership
A League Coordinator is needed for each league to
oversee the league, the draft and provide consistent communication with
the PSO staff on any issues that arise during the season.
A Team Captain is needed for each team who will be responsible
for:
- working with the League Coordinator and other Team Captains to draft
the teams.
- communicating with the players about the schedule, rules, and any
information put out by the PSO staff or the League Coordinator.
- coordinating the substitution pattern during games.
- leading the post game "Iron Time" devotion.
- leading the prayer (or enlisting a member of his team to lead the
prayer) with both teams prior to the start of the game (Home team
captain is responsible for the pre-game prayer).
- enlisting someone (other than a player in the game) to keep either
the scorebook or the clock for each game. Their should be both a
scorebook keeper and a clock keeper (one provided by each team's
captain) for each game at the score table at least 10 minutes prior to
the game.
- enlisting a prayer partner (can be a player on the team or someone
else) who will commit to praying for the team and the league and
coordinate prayer requests for that team.
The League Coordinator and the Team Captains are usually players in
the league. Anyone interested in being a League Coordinator or
Team Captain should contact Brad Freeman at
bfreeman@prestonwood.org.
Team Draft &
Captains
Team Captains will meet on Draft Day to select teams. The draft
will be held at 6:00pm on Thursday, Feb. 21st
in the Sports and Fitness Center.
Captains will be supplied with each player's age, height, playing
experience, and position. Captains will run the draft and determine the
draft rules on draft day. They will also be instructed on the
format for game day devotions. If you would like to be a
Team Captain, please contact Brad Freeman by email at
bfreeman@prestonwood.org.
