Team photos and individuals

Rather suddenly I will be doing some team photographs together with
individual player shots (mostly lacrosse, which begs the question of
helmets on or off, or try to do both if there's time.) and I wonder if
there are some ready tips of what to avoid, any rules of thumb as to
what does work in terms of how best to line up, how deep vs. width, etc.
I did try Google to no avail.
