The team captain of an association football team, sometimes known as the skipper, is a team member chosen to be the on-pitch leader of the team: it is often one of the older or more experienced members of the squad, or a player that can heavily influence a game. The team captain is usually identified by the wearing of an armband.〔(TC United - Captain Responsibilities )〕 == Responsibilities == The only official responsibility of a captain specified by the Laws of the Game is to participate in the coin toss prior to kick-off〔("About Football Glossary" ) ''about.com''〕 (for choice of ends) and prior to a penalty shootout. Contrary to what is sometimes said, captains have no special authority under the Laws to challenge a decision by the referee.〔(FA - The captain's role )〕 However, referees may talk to the captain of a side about the side's general behaviour when necessary.〔(FA - Working with the referee )〕 At an award-giving ceremony after a fixture like a cup competition final, the captain usually leads the team up to collect their medals. Any trophy won by a team will be received by the captain who will also be the first one to hoist it. The captain generally provides a rallying point for the team: if morale is low, it is the captain who will be looked upon to boost their team's spirits.〔(Keelby United - The Role of the Captain )〕 Captains may join the manager in deciding the first team for a certain game. In youth or recreational football, the captain often takes on duties, that would, at a higher level, be delegated to the manager. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Captain (association football)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
