Ideally during Summer. We had a late start of new recruits this year and not many of them since the roster was so full. Yes THOR is early but fortunately not much training required this year. It's one thing to have a plan...another to respond to timing that's given us. We will continue to develop and practice up to kickoff.

We will have a big turnover next year, so recruiting will have to take place early, perhaps in May. We have less constraint because we are a community team and not locked to a school for recruits or space. We don't have a problem filling the roster and we do meet regularly year round.
