In the sport of curling, the skip is the captain of a team. The skip determines strategy, and holds the broom in the house (target area) to indicate where a teammate at the other end of the curling sheet (playing area) should aim the stone. The skip usually throws the last two stones in the fourth position, but may play in any other position.
Sometimes "skipper" is used;[1] it can also be abbreviated as "S".[2][3] It's also used as a verb ("skips", "skipped", "skipping").[4]
It is conventional to identify a team by the name of the skip.[5]
