What age do all the kids on LI move to Express and 91? Rebels and Igloo both have very strong young teams (30,31, 32), but don't seem able to keep the kids together.
Usually around 5th - 6th grade. That’s when they figure out who is going to to be really good. Then they offer those kids free tuition to come play for them. This has been h
appening for years
Maybe. But both Express and 91 are both terrible at this age group right now. They would need a ton of talent to defect over to be competitive.
The transition is happening.. Nothing stays on top forever and people are starting to see that there are more options now. It's not just a 2 horse race (91,Express). Many others will be competitive moving forward. Legacy, Rebels, Igloo etc all are taking a big piece of that pie. Rebels have definitely grown the fastest and we will see if that growth can produce top teams that stay together.
When Catholic school, reclasses, and positioning for recruiting years come about, you’ll see the transition.

Top tier kids will gravitate towards an NLF team.
