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 fund raising, 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.

I understand what you are saying. There are members of our team that once the season is over they take off. Although there are team members that want to stick around all during the summer. If you have the resources, make the team so fun that nobody will want to leave. One thing that we do is a beach party and a nice reception. I personally am probably going to have a Party or something. Make the team during the summer more of a hangout then actual work. Just Again, this works for my team, it doesn't necessarily work for every team. Just trying to give you some ideas.
Good Luck to everyone at the invitationals.
