MicrosoftUPDATE: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups moving beyond First Release
Any way to connect my current IT SharePoint teamsite to my Office 365 IT group?

There is not today. The team is reviewing how we enable classic SharePoint Online team sites to be groups aware. Nothing more to share, other than to assert it's an area under review. And know that classic team site in SharePoint Online already have many of the modern SharePoint components: modern lists and libraries, ability to create modern pages, ability to create a modern page and make it the default home page, modern site contents page, and News is also coming to classic team sites.
Hope that helps,

Thanks for the update Mark. I have added our Classic SharePoint Site as a tab in our Teams Interface so users can easily get to the documents, but people are confused now as to why there are 2 places to save docs to in teams. I guess I should just take the plunge and migrate everything over to the new site that was created when I spun up the Team/Group for us in teams.
- This is a question for our start up, too! How to get a SharePoint sites with mailboxes (and all those functions - e.g. mailing/discussion, calendar, planner, etc. - which would fit to MS Teams quite well) entirely connected to Office 365 groups to get best experience with MS Teams? Thanks!
- At this moment there is no way to connect an existing SPO Site with an existing Group
If I create a new teamsite i can't see an associated Office Group in my first release tenant. Is that feature already released?
the other way works if I create a Group a teamsite is also created

As Juan mentioned, you can create a new modern team site connected to Office 365 groups when you click "Create site" from the SharePoint home in Office 365. This, too, is true if you create a group from Outlook, a modern team site will also get create as a part of the apps available to the group. However, if you create a new site collection from the SharePoint Online admin center (with the intent to provide a new team site), this will not create a modern team site conected to an Office 365 group, rather it creates a classic SharePoint Online team site.
Hope that helps,
