Engaged is a good word, too.

Have a MOE scavenger hunt. Assign the MOE website for pre-season reading - with a deadline. Have them look at/investigate different sections, including the MOE Program and MOEmentum sections, for ideas/thoughts/suggestions as to a fun project or two that they would like to do. It is a way for new-ish mentors and teams to explore the possibilities of infinity and beyond.

Check out other websites of teams that you admire/respect and see if they offer any suggestions on what to do with off season and pre-season. MOE has one of the best, in my opinion. They have developed a very strong program and continue to strive for excellence in ways from which others can benefit.
