I have a kid on the 2020 B team. The level of play is excellent. The coaching is truly outstanding. I say this with the perspective of having played in college and coached youth for 8 years.

Is it worth the price? Judgement call. Maybe not at this age for most. I have older boys in the program. Worth it at the older ages.

I do think many B level players will go to other programs to find better value. Express does risk diluting the talent on the B teams.

At this age the goal is simply to develop fundamental skills and help the kids have fun. The money may be better spent buying high quality instructional videos, going to carefully selected summer camps and getting a few private instruction sessions.
