Curious why so many were ready to jump the fl$ ship but clearly the boat wasn't big enough for everybody. Save that discussion for another time. There is nobody else on the Island in the league of either team so they need to play eachother more than just in Florida - and that's a maybe anyway. At least a few scrimmages are in order this summer.


Express tryouts were early so a lot of kids from a lot of teams tried out fl$ kids might have tried out because spots were not guaranteed, by the time fl$ tried out express players had already made deposits. As far as not playing each other, it seems to be the trend on Long Island, because they are in such a competition for players that the top organizations are not playing each other on a lot of age groups. the kids are the loser in that situation.


Exactly, Express waited to announce tryout dates and not surprisingly scheduled them before the other teams. They also made the kids commit before the other teams's tryout dates.
