Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.

If you have the resources and are able to keep a team going during the summer you should, by all means, do it. But sometimes that's just not possible. Mr. Thompson pointed out that the level of burnout among teams, especially rookie teams, goes way up. Sometimes it's just best to take the summer off. I know 93 would love to keep things going during the summer, but after how intense the season during the school year is, the kids need a break as well as the adults. As for fundraising, there is time enought to do that in the fall before the build starts.
If a student who needs a break is made to do something they are not ready to do, it will become a burden and you could lose that student. Give the kids a summer off to let them recoup from this season and think about thier committment to the team.
