Some 2026 kids with friends on team don’t even want to play there. Wouldn’t even bother with tryouts. Loyalty to a team begins with Coach’s obligation to teach the whole team. If you take on a player you have to coach him. Not just your son. Field time is part of that. Leaving your own kid on the field to pump up his 12 year old stats while team is floundering for a win is ridiculous. Parents are taking kids to other teams because of this behavior. Not all are at Express.

Exactly. A few kids left 91 top team for true blue as well. The coaches did this to themselves. Instead of bashing express maybe you should be looking at the coaches of the team. And stop using the excuse of the World series. 91 has had several top teams in other age groups. You didn’t see a mass exodus of kids leave express (or any other organization) to go play for Wolfpack in the middle of season. If a lot of kids leave a top team in the middle of a season it’s not other organizations fault (that they went to). Nobody poached anyone. Parents were unhappy and looked to go elsewhere.
