Traditionally, subteams on 1675 have been distinct, with little overlap. Beginning in the 2022 season though, we are cross training students to have a wider scope of experience. This change allows students to engage in more than one subteam, and better decide what they want to take part in doing on the team. This change is the result of a smaller team size, where it’s all hands on deck. We need our students’ training to have overlap, and we think this has worked out favorably.
