Tell that to the Onandaga Nation of NY and they'll kick your trust fund little Johnny's a$$.
In box lax yes but not in the outdoor game. They wouldn't beat any of the top LI teams. trust me I was at their training facility a couple of months ago and my kid worked out there.
No you were not there Express daddy, but nice try.
Express recruits top 12 year olds but does not cultivate the team. It wont stay on top in the long run if that's the MO.
Same thing Smash and United do... Find the bigger more advanced kids..and recruit them to come. Not about building on what you got. It's about the organization getting more wins...to win more Tshirts...to charge higher tuition and get kids to "want" to go to their training and camps... A very successful money machine.
