From experience - be careful here. The Express has a very strong potential to suck the life out of you (not to mention the money out of your savings account) as well as the enthousiasm that your kid has for lacrosse. My kid has also moved on and his love for the game has been reinvigorated. He needed a change of scenery and it worked out beautifully - lax is fun again! Crazy, right? BTW - if you are stuck with Express because your son is going to St. A's - my condolences. We were are a public school family and do not have those handcuffs. We can breath deeply now and we no longer have to stress about wondering if our son's role on the team is "safe". Good luck to all.
