Concentrating on the 'Spring' bit

Roll of Springers       - oriental connection
Tug of Springers      - nautical connection
Palm of Springers     - average age of owner being 'advanced'
Harvest of Springers - sounds nice
Bounce of Springers - tenuous link
onion of springers    - grasping at straws now....

Ghost,
Seeing as you mentioned the Americans, has anyone suggested a 'Jerry' of Springers?

or more appropriately a 'Tide' of Springers ?
or even an 'Ebb' of Springers

tenuous link -  a shock of springers
you know when you've just got one end to attach and it flies off - a 'Ping' of springers

having watched springers play springer soccer I would suggest a cluster of springers as in a cluster muster (substitute muster for less polite but more seamanlike language) suggesting a herd of cats.
