Hereford manager Josh Gowling doesn't want a repeat of last pre-season when very few players were signed by the first friendly.
"The last pre-season we had about four players," Gowling told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"This time it's good we've had games because last pre-season we had muscle injuries.
"It's good we've only got a five week break rather than a five month break.
"It means we can be a bit more selective with pre-season whereas last season we had to have a pretty hard pre-season because of the longer lay-off.
"We're going to be back at the start of July. I'd like to have a little camp if we can. We might have to look at raising funds to do that just to get the lads away, better team bonding."
Gowling was asked about the players who have been released in particular Chris Camwell.
"Camy is a great lad. I'm not going to go into the reasons why he's not here but we've had a conversation.
"The door is not closed for Camy. He's got a great left foot, we all know that. There's aspects that he hasn't fulfilled I suppose I would say. I want him to go away and fulfill them. If he does then the door is open for him so we might see him back next year.
"We've got to look at the squad and what we can squeeze out of the squad and look at areas where we are lacking.
"The squad last year was built on Dan Jones, Jake Wright, Giles Coke and Lenny. Four really key experienced players. Obviously they've gone during the season and we've had a young squad since they've gone.
"But I do think sometimes in a pressure-cooker environment like the Trophy final you need experience to call upon which Hornchurch had.
"We'll have to cut our cloth accordingly to get that experience in."
