I am a newbie. can someone explain to me what the turtles are? I Read a lot abot them but dont see them listed as a LI club on the right. Thanks
The Tenacious Turtles are a team that is under the LI Express organization umbrella as their A team for the 2017 age group. They don't have tryouts for this team it's invitation only and almost the entire team has been together for the last 4 years. The owner of Lacrosse Unlimited runs the team and his son is on it.
And that owner's other son plays for Express.
And the Lacrosse Unlimited logo appears on most Express uniforms.
One hand washing the other. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ok. So if Lacrosse Unlimited (Turtles) gets their logo on most Express uniforms. What does Express get out of the relationship? A cut of the annual Turtle fees? Free/discounted uniforms? Practice time in the Turtle dome? Any other benefits to either side? Doesn't seem like there's really much there that either side benefits from. Does this "all in the family" prevent either side from poaching players from the other or is there a "hands off" unwritten rule?
