This.

Also back to the point of curriculum, a longer build season would make it easier to apply the curriculum because you're not is as much of a rush to get things finished. You can put more energy in to training and teaching with the motivation that comes with the build season.

And if you aren't as concerned with those aspects you can put more energy in to raising funds and other resources during the season.

There are an infinite number of ways eliminating bag and tag could be used to help improve and sustain a team.
