Micky Adams has told his Albion players to report for training on June 30 and said: "It can't come quick enough for me."
The new Seagulls boss met with players yesterday and sees the rest today.
Adams, back at the club he left almost seven years ago, said: "It felt a bit like being back at school on your first day. I met seven or eight of the players and told them what I expect of them."
Adams admitted he is keen to add more experience to the squad and revealed he would be taking the players on a training trip away from Brighton ahead of the new season.
The club are still waiting to hear whether Dean Wilkins will accept an offer to join Adams' coaching team. The Argus understands there may not be any news from the recently ousted manager this week.
