Our team has had problems utilizing the Fall well in the past; of the past 4 years 2 of them we've done virtually nothing worth while, largely because plans were made and then fell through since no one took the time to organise it well.

This year we made a t-shirt cannon, held a few intro workshops, held a "presentation" meeting for administrators and parents, had some random team building activities, and outlined club rules and what it's like. We also ran a few fundraisers. We still plan on painting our crate and looking at past year's designs with the remaining time.

We don't meet much in the Fall, only once a week and 3 or 4 weeks this fall we had no meeting due to odd school/teacher schedules. Half the club is in either ROTC or Marching Band, and there are other Fall sports/clubs represented as well, so we try to avoid doing alot in the Fall simply because no one has the time. It's also a nice break for the teachers, who have to do so much in the Spring they need the rest.

We don't do off-season competitions, there aren't any here in Arizona and club members are in too many other things to miss school during the Fall for out of state events.

I have to say from seeing what's happened the past 4 years, if you don't have most or all of your Fall planned out before school starts, none of your plans will work.
