Improvised, spontaneous leadership.

For the role of a cricket captain in the U10 team, the responsibility is handed over to a new player each week chosen by the previous captain.

The players work out a sense of fairness between themselves (most are in Grade 2 to 4).

As captain, they handle the batting and bowling order and who gets to be wicketkeeper.

Sometimes, the team list gets a little special, like this one from Tom 😀

Why sport is good, beyond the obvious, in building confidence and social skills.
