Our captain criteria is stringent, especially since captains are also junior directors on our Board of Directors and help with team rules, policy creation and implementation, and operate as overall liaisons between Flyers athletes and staff. Captains need to embody the student-athlete role, be positive influences, strongly mentor younger teammates, lead the team with dedication and enthusiasm, and be the essence of what makes us unique - what makes us FLY. We are fortunate to have these exceptional young mend and women as positive leaders and role models to our student athletes! Interested in becoming a captain? Applications open in the fall and captains reviewed and announced in October.
