Looking forward to this fall your team might want to engage in a series of structured activities. It can accomplish two things. It helps the group move through the group dynamics stated above. That helps a lot when the build season starts. And it give the group an opportunity to do some fun stuff. It is tough getting to the performing stage in 6 weeks with a group that hasn't worked together before.
Our team did a series of exercises all through the fall and it is paying benefits now. I wish we had done the MOE egg toss trebuchet. But our other stuff was good enough.
