Re: increased team size
As a member of a team that exploded in size over a couple of years' time and learned to manage that growth - the only words of wisdom that I would like to offer to you are these: honor the journey. Take the time as you go through this year - to learn how to be more organized. Learn how to manage the team better in areas that will need strengthening. As you go through the year, identify those areas, document them, address them as best you can this season, and then re-address them at the end of the season so that you are better prepared for next year. By being mindful of the changes, the unexpected positives and negatives that arise, and the challenge of growing the team - you are honoring the journey.

Congratulations on garnering this challenge. May it be a worthwhile and fulfilling experience for all of you.

Jane
