The Lincoln-Sudbury athletic program is about to embark into a brave new world. Flying in the face of tradition, Warrior team are looking into eliminating team captains as the role is now preceived and replacing them with what is termed shared leadership. What is shared leadership? Instead of having anywhere from one captain to as many as four or five, L-S teams will be led by a council of students. That council could be all the seniors or anyone and everyone on the roster. Athletic director Nancy O’Neil feels athletics are a great vehicle for shared leadership and all the benefits she sees in the concept.

Not a bad idea. Helps to dissolve cliques. We did it for our college team the last 2 years and it just happened to be the most successful 2 years ever in the program.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
Probably started because some kids mommy was all mad that her senior was not selected as captain like her friends. Another example of idiots who cant say No.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Captains should not be picked by the team, it should be picked by the coach. No, I don't have a senior who wasn't chosen.Comment

Political Correctness gone awryComment

I think Captains have always been picked by the team, but I know our school the coach will veto anyone not worthy so there is checks and balances. Any coach worth his salt would not let an unworthy kid captain his team.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This is perfectly in line with the socialistic policies currently being implemented in Washington.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Some sports like Ice Hockey only Captains can question and speak to the refs. It is actually a rule, what is L-S going to do? This is ridiculous.Comment

I don't think there should be bosses at work either. We can all figure it out by committee.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

A "bail out" for everyone not elected captain. Does L-S want to keep score at games? What if another team scores more points than they do in a game? Did the game exist?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
