Shaun Moran is coaching the 2nd team. Great coach. He was there the first night but heard he had to leave because his wife had a baby. It's tryouts, the HB coaches are more than capable of picking both teams.

2019 Express "B" BEAT your so-called Outlaw A team one month ago.

Don't have to be one of the five HB coaches to know that 4 or 5 kids won't be returning. Express does this every year. I think they even dropped some kids mid-season from the badgers.

Hurray my daddy bought me my spot again on the 2019 A team . I feel so good about myself.

The Express used to dominate LI. No more.

This is not true. One kid voluntarily dropped down to Barracudas. Every other kid finished out the year. Whether or not they all came back is a different story. I don't know why people are constantly stirring the pot on here. There are several good teams at this age group and not every team is a good fit for every kid or family. My son played on the HB's and had a tremendous experience. The kids, families, and coaches were great. He learned a lot about the game and increased his skills tenfold. The coaches were extremely dedicated and were great with the kids. The team was competitive and had a great year. What more could you want from a travel program at this age? I guess if the measuring stick is to beat the Bandits, then the season was a bust. Luckily for those who were actually involved, that was not the sole mission of the year. I was at the tryouts and with the exception of three kids (2 of which were second graders who played up last year), the entire team was at tryouts. This, to me, speaks volumes.

What does that mean????

That's just false. At least 1 kid from the Fall dropped to the Barracudas B team in early Spring. Two or three others left/were not on team by June tournaments. It's ok to turn-over the team and drop kids that weren't up to A-team standards or didn't fit with the coaching style. Just be honest about it, dude.

THese guys are nuts if they think we are committing to "team 2" before all the other tryouts happen. Good coach but I know for sure he will not be there in the spring. 2020

Have they dropped the names (Terps, Wolverines, etc.) and replaced with Team 1, Team 2 etc? Is it safe to assume Team 1 = A team, Team 2 = B team?

An Express director told me that they weren't going to have more than 2 teams in any grade this year. Is that true?

2022 sent out invites to Team 1, Team 2 and Team 3... Lowered the price for all teams by $500 to $2150.

Do the research of the teams from last year as I know Barracudas 2021 Played in the A bracket and won A bracket tournament's , that team competed against wolves ,and 91 Heat by 1-2 point loss margin. They beat Legacy A as well as Jesters , they had also a 3rd team as well which was their B team . Its safe to say if you do your research on history of last season's teams you can figure out what best fits the invite. We got a team 2 invite and coming from one of the mentioned teams they competed against we will be committing .I do know they practice all year long and play in alot of tournaments above what express offers
