Why?

I'll throw out a reason. Learning multiple languages helps you learn to think in terms of programming structures, or design patterns, ie., you become more meta and less syntax.

That said, I would probably use a base language year over year and have off season challenges to re-implement in a new language. Then switch if your team decides it wants to.
