I've been reading such horror stories of how bad these coaches are since my son played for these so called money hungry coaches and each year they have always been propagated by the parents of the kids who just are not as good as their parents had hoped. These same parents then group together to commiserate about how bad the coaches are when in all actuality it is just that the kids are not up to the skill level of the kids on that years particular "A" team. It is much easier on the ego of these parents to transfer the lack of a particular talent onto someone else's lack of effort.

Perhaps these parents should get up off of their collective *sses and see if they could do better. Coach your own kid when he's not on the practice field. If your kid is playing video games instead of getting on the wall or joining other kids in pick up practices or if you are not having a catch with them as often as possible ; then don't expect the coaches to magically conjure up skills and ability for your kids.


stop blaming others for your child's shortcomings

They get a large number of kids trying out. They are doing something right. Not everyone makes a team. They had a massive amount of kids at tryouts.

Who are the assistants for schwajle?

Anyone who is on this team knows the truth behind what is said. We have been apart of it for many years and for now it works for my son. But we always have our guard up to be bumped from channy's select group, if you think one day your kid won't be benched because he brings in someone your kidding yourself.

And why shouldn't he, pray tell...?

At tryouts, no problem. Or if a spot opens on the roster, sure. However, on our team last season the new kids rolled in all year. We had one tourney last year with 10 attackmen??

My son has played for Express for 3 years and the most they ever added to a team was 2 or 3 players so I guess I am.
Even one or two kids I can understand to try something out but 10 new attackmen???? That's insane!! Are you sure you aren't exaggerating? There should only be 6 on a team to begin with (if done right and all good players).

Why does Express have rosters of 25-27?

It might be time to bow out gracefully from Express 2022. Coaching is good, kids are r re all good, but I DID NOT sign up to pay $2800 for this many kids on a roster. I guess the earlier posters were right, buyer be aware.

Here's another fact: Channy and Wizorac will retire by the time your kid gets to high school.

Another parent here concerned about the 28 kid roster on the 2022 team. People we will walk and they will right back to last year with barely 15 kids ok only with a goalie now. Come on Express, shorten the roster.

Express better get roster straight soon. Cant have visitors come play at the big Tournament in baltimore this summer. National 2022 Championship. No funny business allowed.
