Truth is with how competitive travel lacrosse has become it is virtually impossible to find a non dad coach that will put in the necessary time to be competitive. Man everyone breathe

This is the person you are talking about and making up lies . I wish nothing but great things to Express and all the players on that team . My sons experience there was a great one and i wish them all the best , Coach Keith is a great person and coach . I would recommend anyone looking for a great team to consider the 2020 terps. It is unfortunate people use this forum to vent there own issues hiding behind and anonymous forum. Good luck to all in the upcoming years ...

150+ at tryouts some very good players with some standouts. really good tryout, will be hard to pick the top team and not upset a lot of people. Every kid thinking of going to Catholics was there.

If anybody gets upset they are not on the top team they have other options it's America. Be interesting to see if they pick the best or politics comes into play.

if you are going to catholic school and are a 2020 - the team coaches at express are the Head Coach at St. Anthonys and the Defensive coordinator for chaminade.. you don't have to play express and play at catholic but not a bad place to be to get to know your coaches

No I do not believe it. I think when you get to that level it doesn't matter where you played. The best kids are going to play. Period.

It was a good number but much less than 200. Problem was the organization had no control. Lots of talent there, but no way evaluators could pick. Not enough reps for the kids, prior express kids just kept cutting in front of lines. Pretty poorly run, especially if you compare with 91 tryouts. Supposed to be scrimmages next week. They better have more than one field. If not, you know this was money grab and nothing else.

Come on they are all money grabs. They know the A team before tryouts with phone calls and behind the scene politics. Their May be 1 lucky kid that catches someone's eye because of size or speed other than that everyone else is fighting for the B C D team. But we are the stupid ones that keep paying!!

Why do you say that? Powers is a proven identifier of talent.

I'm guessing that if the majority of top players are already attached to one of the bigger proven clubs, the talent showing up for a new club will not be as strong. If a club can prove themselves, you may see some stronger kids being attracted in a year or two. One way to have early success is to bring an established team over to a club to start the momentum.

I'd say this team will have some success in the future just based on thei directors, but they may have to build from the younger teams and market to the Nassau county kids.

It is a fact!!! You cannot start a legit team in 8th grade unless you are getting other teams good kids!! At this age there is only so many quality kids to go around and I'm sure the top teams already have them!!! Legacy and Express... If your kid is in 8th grade is your best choice.. Don't kid yourself on any other team!!

If the best 24 players from the tryout played for Powers this would be a very "real" team. Not best of the best, but very respectable.

is powers still dedicated, and will this be the only team he coaches. a couple of questions to ask. Cromwell over @ Igloo is one of the best coaches around, but he is spread thin.

Cromwell is doing two teams this year, and according to my conversation they will work it out so that he can be at all the tournaments, and practices are not a concern as they can control that schedule.

That is good news. Information like that is what this site should be used more for. Cromwell is one of the better coaches out there, guessing some complaints were answered from last year. First year is never easy.

Problem with this, is what teams gets to go to the better tournaments? One team always suffers and it will usually be the younger one. Not a bash just a fact

Agreed. But they would need to lock down the talent sooner than later. Their last tryout is in mid September...most, if not all, of the talented players that showed up will most likely be snagged up by then by existing teams.

There seem to be several supposed national club championships in Florida over Christmas break (Dicks, Madlax etc.)

Which tournament, if any, are the better 2020 teams going to?
