To motivate team members
to assist in team selection
to be the ONLY person that speaks to an official in regards to decisions made and convey that back to the team (and not as we see in the other ball game when its a free for all)
to maintain discipline of team players
make pitch related strategic decisions
lead from the front
and when old enough to do so - buy the first round at the bar after a successful win (this is not mandatory but it helps!)
Being a team captain is a VERY important role. I have been one myself too. Being team captain is a privilage because the coach has decided to choose that ONE person to take lead and make the best out of the team. Team captain(s) are also role models to the ones that look up to them. They are also leaders and helpers at the same time. Unlike shy and timid people, team captains are outgoing and they speak up for themselves whether things are right or wrong. Lastly, they have the power of the whole team and everyone would usually be obedient to that person.
