We have kids on both Express and Rebels and can say there is a stark difference on how Rebels treats their B clubs compared to their A. They should really invest more in their B clubs as they pay the same. They consistently give them less tournaments less practices, poor communication and always a delay on gear. This is most likely why parents pull their kids. Our child with Express got his great almost immediately and we ordered through their New Balance site. Rebels still hasn't given gear. Both haven't given helmets yet though.
