You are a [lacrosse].

Everyone got along just fine on the 2022 Minutemen. Like any team there was a few who were not happy with playing time but that happens everywhere. Nothing like what I witnessed during the Tri Star Clash where a United parent and the head coach almost came to blows on the field after the Championship game. I also know that there was a lot of talent at the workouts. The 2022 team is only going to get better. Think this year it is possible for the team to surpass Igloo and United.

Express lost to igloo, smash and united every time they have met for 2 straight years. Express also lost to jesters every time they met this year. Express is a B team. The best kids will try out for the best teams and igloo, smash and united will attract the best talent. I don't quite see the logic that express will get better and igloo and united will stay the same.

You don't get the logic, at 2022 there are players you havnt even heard of yet; some that havnt played travel. 6th 7th grade is when you can start saying those things. not rising 5th.

Was on the minutemen this year. We played smash 1 time in October and lost by 6 goals. Played united in 2 straight summer tournaments and lost by 1 goal both times. Lost to igloo by 3 goals. NEVER lost to jesters. Beat them once by 3 goals and then played the B team and won by 15 goals. Not returning to express this year but the nonsense that is being spoken is ridiculous! Minutemen were in every game this year and never blown out. Only time they played smash was their 1st game ever together in October! This whole age group is evenly matched. Even smash is being caught up to. Other programs are rising also. The talent is very diluted which makes for more competitive games.

Exactly! Now enter the best coaching staff around and everyone with be chasing the Express at 2022.

Things were going good til you went there. Best staff around? How did their other teams that they coached do for express? I'll answer for you....not good!! MC should stick to running the business. He coaches too many teams within that organization. Doesn't spend enough time with these teams.

My son played on one of the mentioned teams, funny thing is we got up on express by 7 goals and sat our starters, moved defense to offense for fun etc. and express did get a few goals on us to make the score look within 5 but, I can assure you if we' didn't show mercy we would have won by 15...united, smash, 32, team LI, igloo, all beat express by 10+ goals if they don't take the foot of the gas.

Express minutemen were NEVER blown out by any of those teams. Maybe the B team(Terps) were. You are mistaken. Sorry.

Express will never compete in the younger grades. The talent has not matured enough and the other teams have most of it right now. Will be fun to see in 4 years where everyone stands.

By the time the kids get to high school express always winds up with top teams. Look at 2015, 2016 and 2017 you guys are talking about 5th graders.

You mean, used to!

Channy is not the savior, his kids will be coaching that team sooner rather than later. And please don't preach about how he was an all American in college. The last coach was too.

When you can name one other program that has had the same success as the express at high school age then you will be on to something. Until then you will just be jealous

Doesn't make difference. That was last summer. Now Channy is in charge and that team will be as good as any at the age.

Terps actually won more games than lost in their tournaments. Of course they couldn't compete on A level as a B team. Great kids, coaches and parents.

Which year?

True. I had friends with children on the 2024 team you are referring to. They were so unhappy. They said the coach could not be bothered, never practiced, and set the boys up for failure. Sad thing is that those boys have great potential but the coach didn't show an ounce of interest in that team. Very unfair!
