Hello everyone!
I know I never really post anything here but I'm following you guys since the last World Cup. So first let me thank you all for the opportunity to learn a bit more about our beloved sport! =]
A couple of months ago I started coaching a group between 15 to 20 U-16 players (our very first youth team!). Problem is, what should I do about the skipper thing? Should I nominate him directly or should I let the kids to choose among themselves? As you may notice, I'm from Brazil and this is their very first contact with the sport, so they have little to no clue on how important is the role of a captain in rugby... As J. S. Mill said, "the uncultivated cannot be competent judges of cultivation".
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
